♪♫ Eno & The Winkies - Peel Session 1974
The complete session recorded by Eno & The Winkies on 26 February 1974 for the John Peel show on BBC Radio 1 and broadcast on 5 March 1974.
1. The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch (0:07)
2. Baby's On Fire/Totalled (3:25)
3. Fever (13:19)
The Winkies were formed by Canadian-born Philip Rambow with former Holy Rollers guitarist Guy Humphreys, and the rhythm section of Brian Turrington (bass) and Mike Desmaris (drums). Their music and stage presence were a combination of the sound pub rock and visuals of glam rock clothing.
The Winkies caught the attention Brian Eno while he was finishing his debut solo album, Here Come the Warm Jets. Eno took The Winkies as his backing band in February 1974, on his first and only solo tour. The outing ended after five shows, after Eno was rushed to the hospital suffering from a collapsed lung. In March 1974 the John Peel BBC radio show broadcast four songs from the 19 February 1974 performance - "The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch", "Totalled", "Baby's on Fire" and a cover version of "Fever" (wiki)
Sorry to put this on you...
...but I have an honest question about depression and suicide. Isn't it completely possible for it to be an alternative for someone. Can't there be someone out there who genuinely is tired and doesn't want to continue. I know there is beauty and wonderful things in this world. There are things to look forward to. There will be more pain but also more laughter. But what if I'm not interested?
