This one was the first that gave me some faint hope that we might be able to make a go of it. The song was good, with coherent lyrics. We played it well (you'll have to excuse the minute of badinage preceding it -- it was still an analog world, and we had to wait for tapes to play/rewind etc.). I mixed up some of the verses and forgot the first couple of lines in the second chorus; but overall we were happy with it.
I didn't like the title of it -- accurate, but kind of generic. Doesn't really capture the romance and glamour of the business.
Speaking of which, if a certain scrappy bantam rooster of the Leninist persuasion were to seek my advice, I would heartily recommend the telephonic method of seeking . . . release. Not only does it tend to be more discreet, it seriously reduces the "ick factor." At least it does from the girl's perspective.
So everybody, remember to vote tomorrow. And should some Asian-abusin' sleazeball Marxist pervo miraculously become PM, then I'll bid you all adieu, as I plan to kill myself and/or move to Antarctica. I suspect that Internet access in either case will be problematic.

Dang! Something's off in the recording, it's not mixed properly - the instrumental side completely drowns out the vocals, which is a pity because I like what I'm hearing and your banter at the start is very funny. I was curious about your lyrics - telephone sex as in the kind you pay for, or as in long-distance relationship type thing? Heck, in my case, I'll take what I can get! :-)

Hi, Hannah. Thanks for the kind words.
We didn't have a proper mixer at the time. We were bouncing tracks back and forth between two cassette decks, controlling the volumes with line inputs.
If you have headphones, I recommend listening to this or others through them. Sounds a bit better.
And, yes, the song was about paid sex-chats, a rather grubby business. Or so I am informed :)
Again, thanks for the praise. Feel free to drop by again. I put out a new one most Sundays.
