- "The Thorn EP" from 1984 - a splendid 4-tracker consisting of old Banshee favourites re-recorded with a full orchestra and dripping with enough drama, tension and pathos to lift the roof clean off the Royal Albert Hall......
- This was an interesting and unique project for The Banshees: go into a studio and fully re-make 4 songs that they'd already put out on record in their early punk days - but this time with a full orchestra. The new versions change the character of the songs radically; from minimal spiky punk into powerful, majestic goth. Drummer Budgie (who hadn't been on 3 of the original versions), puts his distinctively brilliant stamp on these new versions.

EXCELLENT choice! I am fortunate enough to own a copy of that one as well. I'm a new visitor and look forward to what you have in store in the future. Keep up the good work!
Peace and blessings.
