I'm indebted to Andrew Wheeler for the following information on Ted's stuff that is, as far as I know, only available on vinyl:

ON THE BOARDWALK - THE VENICE BEACH TAPES

  • I got what I wanted
  • Bring it on home
  • Ladder of success
  • Green green grass of home
  • Gypsy woman
  • Part time love
  • He will break your heart
  • North to Alaska
  • There stands a glass
  • Quiet Place
  • Country Roads
  • Your cheatin heart

DOCK OF THE BAY - THE VENICE BEACH TAPES 2

  • Dock of the bay
  • Too busy thinkin' about my baby
  • Crystal chandelier
  • Blowin' in the wind
  • Share your love
  • Don't ever leave me
  • Searchin' for my baby
  • Let the good times roll
  • Just my imagination
  • Somebody had mercy
  • Chain gang
  • 59th St. bridge song
  • I love you most of all
  • Havin' a party
  • San Francisco

Both these records were recorded during 12-14th Sept 1985 in Nashville and released in the UK 'American Activities' based in Leeds. The LP's feature Ted on his own. Previously available on 2 (now deleted) Munich Records CDs all the tracks on these albums are now available again on 2 CDs - Songs From Venice Beach and Love You Most Of All. However, although they use the same recordings, the tracks have been re-ordered and re-distributed between these CDs so, unlike the Munich Records CDs, they aren't direct CD equivalents of the vinyl LPs.

I LOVE YOU TOO

  • Who do you love
  • Dollar tree
  • You've changed
  • I ain't got nothing yet
  • Nowhere to run
  • Baby
  • Nursery rhymes
  • No love
  • Ladder of success
  • Ding dong ding

Recorded RAK Studios, London, Jan – March 1989. Produced by Ted Hawkins and co-produced by Michael Messer.

In response to many queries about this album I have now given it a separate page in the discography - I Love You Too

GOLDEN SUN

Single probably released in 1989

ANDY KERSHAW'S GREAT MOMENTS IN VINYL HISTORY

Compilation LP featuring a duet of Ted and Billy Bragg (an interesting combination) singing Ted's Cold and Bitter Tears recorded on the 10th Nov 1986 at Leeds University.

Jostein Bernstein wrote to me about the following 2 twelve inch singles that he bought in the early 90's. They were issued on the Windows On The World Label in 1987. The tracks are:

Watch Your Step

  • Watch your step(band version)
  • Side 2:
  • Sweet Baby
  • Bring it on home daddy
  • Watch your step(acoustic version)

Bad Dog
