Ian McCulloch & Johnny Marr

Jukebox Jury

Retired
Just read this from Wiki.
I knew from reading the 'Gunslinging' book that the pair did something together, but didn't realise they had got as far as they did (see below).
Wonder where the tapes ''disappeared too''?:confused:
Has any of this ever surfaced anywhere?

McCulloch met former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr in 1993 and they wrote and recorded an album, tentatively titled Touch Down. The album was to be released in early 1994;[7] however, despite McCulloch and Marr being happy with the album, Rob Dickins at WEA felt it was missing some element. Dickins suggested to McCulloch that Sergeant be brought in to do some work. McCulloch was initially sceptical because he had not spoken with Sergeant since de Freitas's funeral; however, he did give the idea some thought.[7] Before McCulloch had chance to contact Sergeant, a mutual friend persuaded the pair to meet socially. While McCulloch and Sergeant were being reacquainted, the tapes from the McCulloch and Marr sessions disappeared.[8] McCulloch was not upset about this as he and Sergeant had started working together as Electrafixion.[8]
