Stumbled across this Rick Taylor demo/cover titled 'Blue Nile Song' recently (what's in a name?).

A huge Blue Nile fan we can only assume he decided one day he wanted to cover 'I Would Never' from the album 'High' and off he went.

Definitely worth 5 and a half minutes of your time, breathing into the mic and all.

From Paul Spongs Album 'Holdin On'

Would love to know the story behind this track, Franky Gibbon archive again, Rick Taylor might not have known the verses or made them up on the spot? but the chorus and harmonies are some kind of wonderful.

'You Promised'

Heres another demo from Franky Gibbon sessions again, Rick Taylor singing, really enjoy listening to this, great lyrics and catchy chorus, shame it didn't go any further.
