hi there guys and gals,
I've just joined Reubens official site!! I've only recently started listening to Reuben (about four months) and I'm heartbroken that they aren't together. I'm the only person that likes them in my school!!
Learning to play their songs is the only thing keeping them alive to me. I'm just so dissapointed....
I try my best to be the best that I can

I've also only just picked up on this thread and listened to the tracks. So thanks very much Jim.

Awesome to hear some of Jamie's drumming and such an early look at the long Shambles way back in 2001.

Ric, did the guys ever say why the longer version of Shambles was never included earlier on any of the albums? Did it just not fit with the right feel? It's such an awesome song!

i asked jamie for you as i didn't know... the answer's pretty boring:

it would've been on racecar but it was disliked by the others for its complexity.

I’ve got to say that surprises me they rejected it for that reason. I suppose it could only ever have been a closer and Dusk is really strong too.

Thanks for asking Ric, I appreciate you taking the time to do that. In fact I feel slightly guilty you did!

Don't believe I've only just seen this! Granted it's been a while since I checked the boards.

Granted that on the sessions here: http://www.wordsfromreuben.com/2009/songs.php?rsid=12 "Banner" and "Shambles" feature and that "Worn" and "Parties" feature on a session here: http://www.wordsfromreuben.com/2009/songs.php?rsid=11 can we assume that the tape of Jimbo's comprised cuts from two sessions or that there is some confusion over what was recorded when (as both are Surrey Uni sessions)?

I expect the tape will have had stuff from at least two sessions.

the "banner" and "shambles" session was april 2001, i don't know when in 2000 the other surrey uni session was...
