Last copy. A first time release for 2 untitled demos from Spectrum's 1992 classic 'Soul Kiss (Glide Divine)' LP. Listed here as 'untitled,' the pair of tunes here were penned by Richard Formby initially and were developed into the classics 'Sweet Running Water' and 'The Drunk Suite' for the LP which represented Sonic Boom's first project as a band post Spacemen 3. Lovely stripped down minimal pieces which represent a fascinating insight into how the tracks were first laid down and presented to Sonic and Mike Stout in the band. Definitely one for all Spacemen (and post S3 bands) afficionados and released as a one time pressing of 500 45s dressed up nice in PY's BBC '70s library 'tip of the hat' sleeves and additional backing card.
