Thank you so much, Uvox!

Another addition to IAN BURDEN music CV -

his project MUSICAL JANEENS, some time between GRAPH and THE HUMAN LEAGUE.
Musical Janeens - The Psalter Lane Tapes 1980

That's what BANDCAMP says:
These tracks were on an old cassette titled just "Musical Janeens". It is a copy of a recording session at Psalter Lane Art College in 1980, where Ian Burden was studying for his Fine Art degree. As usual other people were drafted in, Helen Ryall for vocals on one of the sections and Rob Bolton and Mick Glaisher for the drums. As for the Musical Janeens themselves, it is difficult to remember who played what during the session. Whilst each played their normal instruments, there was a lot of switching around and the addition of a borrowed Sax. Whilst there are distinct sections, they've been edited together to run into each other and so it was decided to leave it as just one long piece. The tape was digitised by Martin Rootes, but due to the age of the tape the sound quality was not the best and so Ian Burden did some post processing to correct as best as possible the tonal balance..
