[kj] THEYR featuring Jaz Coleman

[Antoni Adamiak]

The name is THEYR but it's a funny "P" (which in Icelandic is "th") so they
get referred as Peyr.

The 3 tracks with Jaz, from an audio tape shipped out of the recording
studio, ended up in John Peel's postbox so he promptly played them each at
least a couple of times. Good quality MP3 versions are up on Madani's
website.

The "As Above" LP does not feature Jaz Coleman. The vinyl is pretty rare but
you can get a recently compiled & released CD, with most of the tracks off
"As Above" from the Bad Taste website, They plan to release a couple more in
due course.

Indeed yes, as far as I know,  THEYR and PEYR are just one and same
icelandic project (It just seems like there were two different ways to write
the band's name... Quite weird, isn't it ? ;-).

<I've also only heard 3 songs, the ones that's on the Joker_place site,
Guess again, The <Catalyst and Take what's Mine, that's the ones you're
talking about???

Those are the same tracks as the ones I've already got.
They were recorded in Iceland in  1982, and the singer was Jaz,  that's all
I know so far...

    Does anyone know if THEYR "As above" LP (recorded with Jaz on vocals)
has ever been re-released on CD ??...

    If not, does anyone have it in a good sound quality on CD-R ??...
    I only managed to check 3 tracks from THEYR so far, but unfortunately
with an awfuly poor sound quality (maybe demos or rehearsal recordings
?...).
    That's quite frustrating, 'cos I'm VERY interested in this rare
curiosity !!... ;-)
