Message from NMN :
Sometime in 1991, at the end of the studio sessions for what would eventually become 0 + 2 = 1, having just recorded a double record (okay, maybe a one-and-a-half record) Nomeansno puzzled as to what they should do. The boys had recorded a lot of stuff. John, Craig, Rob and Andy discussed it all at great length over many cheeseburgers and fries. "We were very happy with everything we'd put down but we thought a meagre double lp didn't seem like not such a great idea", remembers Andy. "Maybe we thought it would be a case of one too many epics". But what to put on the album? Lost almost made it. Alas, it got vetoed by one of the boys (that's how they always did it; if one person REALLY objected then they wouldn't do it). And I Need You would've been included (perhaps the real star of the recordings) but it just didn't fit. Just. Didn't. Fit.
It was decided that the songs that didn't make it to the final cut were to be released at "a later date", perhaps as an ep. But that never happened. Andy stopped at the end of 1991 and it was agreed by all that it might be best at the time to not have Andy appear as some kind of ghost on a record after he had left.
Happy Bridge, CSN, Lost, This Wound Will Never Heal and I Need You ended up being re-recorded and released in fine versions on other NMN records. Now It's Dark got lost along the way. But a copy of the original versions of the extra material stayed on a cassette that sat in a shoebox for about nineteen years, until now.
And so here they are, together again in one place, reunited in some weird way on the internets with their big brother 0 + 2 = 1. One group of songs, written, developed, played live and recorded and mixed in the same time period.
Welcome to the land of "false starts" and "missing parts".
