Notes
Claire Thomas & Susan Vezey fist appeared on Snatch 1 and were a pseudonym for Philip Sanderson. A spoof press release was issued which cast the duo as a pre raethelite synthesizer duo. However it was intended that the whole thing be fairly transparent, or one might have thought so. The Cherry Red label believing in the existence of the pair released a Claire Thomas & Susan Vezey track on the LP Perspectives & Distortion and were even intending to put out an LP until the duo's cover was blown. In keeping wit the project, the sleeve notes to the tape are somewhat inaccurate,There are in fact four tracks on Reprint. The first track features some treated ethereal vocals (supplied by Nancy) whilst the two longer tracks employ a VCS3 and loop delay process to produce a shimmering percussive backdrop. The fourth tack is the old favourite Under Press of Sail. A few copies of the tape included a fifth track which was a ring modulator tape loop piece by Philip Sanderson & Steven Ball entitled Nein Nein Nein. For info on the CD release go to Reprint CD
