Band of Georges: Four

Four by George. From Volume II Side B of the Band of Georges. Music and lyrics by G. Davies. Composed circa 24th January 1983. Recorded June 1986. Mixed October 1986. Lifted from cassette March 2025. Copyright © 1983 Explicit Music. Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records. Fun Facts: Four is a song that was inspired by a dream that seemed to have four separate acts. It had rather a grand scope and several of George's friends seemed to love this song, despite its apparently nonsensical lyrics. In 1985 it became a part of Wud's repertoire. George had heard bands such as Led Zeppelin, Blue Oyster Cult and Black Sabbath perform a song where everyone but the guitarist left the stage and the guitar played some sort of solo. This was incorporated into this song, to represent the time and the upcoming change in feel following an event in described in the lyrics. The piano was recorded at a very low gain for reasons now unknown, unfortunately. There is something causing a massive hiss on the vocal mic, possibly a low battery in the Selmer Scintallation reverb unit.
