ALEX CHILTON: Alcoholiday (Teenage Fanclub cover) (High Definition Quality Audio) HD

Early 1990s rehearsal recording with Alex Chilton fronting Teenage Fanclub. Special thanks to Duglas Stewart of the brilliant BMX Bandits.

I was in the room when this was done. It was way earlier than 1996. Brendan was still in the group. I reckon it was late 1992 or early 1993 (no later). What a great day that was. Happy memories.

Duglas Stewart is Alex playing guitar on this or just singing?

[@duglasstewart3950]

Guitar and singing.

You lucky man................

Getting to kick it and watch this all go down is amazing!

[@jesseemullen]

Amazing version. Completely written for Alex to sing. Glad they collaborated, since the Fannies were the Big Star of the 90s.

[@lancebaldock6233]

This is the song that made me totally fall in love with the Fannies (not that I needed much persuading) and Bandwagonesque the album that got me listening to Big Star. This is great - Alex expecting a stop after the first few bars by the sounds of it. Thanks for posting.

One of the few bands Alex loved and for good reason................

Wow. So cool.

Sublime!

The Fanclub played with Alex in a very small Glasgow boozer. I missed it sadly!

[@pastismarc]

Great version, is this recording available on record preferably vinyl ?

[@ichidome]

aahhhhhh!!

[@mclff6926]

Damn. So superb! There would have been a real market for Alex simply taking over lead vocals of Teenage Fanclub at Age 39. Only weak part of TF's game are the lead vocals. And Alex seemed to like being in someone else's band without all the pressure (see Panther Burns).

TF had weak vocals? Are you drunk?

[@mclff6926]

@@gavinjose5426 Sounds better with Alex' vocals

@@mclff6926 it’s ok. I’m drunk too.

Is there a chorus somewhere in this song? (The cover is pretty tru to the original I'd say in a good way). Love the song but just couldn't really identify one when I got to listening.

Fuck tune
