THE END


A splendid unreleased track from the End who were gathering material for their first LP in 1968/9, when their end really did arrive. Acetate, doubtful if more than half a dozen were ever pressed.

I could be wrong about an LP release.

Addendum: An LP was released 1969. This track did not appear on it.

Info: 690403A 3rd April, 1969: THE END. Probably London, Olympic Sound Studios. Producer: BW.
- Second Glance (David Brown/Nicky Graham/Terry Taylor/Paul Francis)
Line-up: Jim Henderson (voc)/David Brown (Bass, voc)/Nicky Graham (keyb, voc)/
Terry Taylor (gtr)/Paul Francis (dr)

  3. I've heard this before somewhere -could it be on 10th Planets final release in the Trilogy of End material?
    I didn't keep the 3rd volume as most of it was actually Tucky Buzzard material and fairly uninteresting to these ears.

  4. sorry -me again
    Found a copy of TP047
    The End "The Last words"
    "Second Glance" is on that LP but clocks in over 4½ minutes, with freak out ending.
    According to the sleeve notes the track was recorded by Miguel Rios as "Despierta".
    Oh and the LP is a lot better than I remembered!
    Keep up the great work
