FLLR 040 - Silvia's Parents - Baggage Boy 7 inch
This "tape filler" on the pictured tape surfaced a few years ago, and I am as clueless now (at least until being updated by the fabulous Fractured/Image) as I was then. Information (and files) supplied by the legendary "bcingyou".
He notes: "I perhaps incorrectly transcribed notes on insert from trader's letter (which I can't locate) as filler being from "Sylvia's Parguts". This is obviously from vinyl as you can hear from surface noise before and after tracks but I can't find any match on Discogs. This sounds like a New Order influenced band from mid to late 80s or possibly a side project since keyboards sound like New Order's from that period. Any help with correction to the ridiculous band name is appreciated."
He subsequently added: "Only thing I can find is that 'paraguitas' in spanish means tiny umbrella."
...if I hear back, I'll definitely update this blog with what I find out.
UPDATE: And sure enough, I have been informed by the fabulous Fractured/Image that this is likely a UK group called "Silvia's Parents", who have a single 12" release, put out in 1989...so this 7" (otherwise undocumented) may in fact predate it.
Their band Discog page says:
Indie band from the UK
Simon Mitchell - Vocals, Guitar
Martyn Satterthwaite - Keyboards, backing vocals
Matt Donovan, Drums, Bass
Mark Beasley, Bass

Out of all of these, the only one which has a possibility of other output is the bassist Mark Beasley (2)
According to *ahem* artifical intelligence...
The name "Silvia's Parents" is a reference to the famous 1972 hit song "Sylvia's Mother" by the American band Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show, which reached number two on the UK charts. The song tells the story of a man trying to reach his former love, Sylvia, but being blocked by her mother on the phone.

Of course, the New Order soundcheck (filler itself) has been upped...
And 'FruitierThanThou' long ago upped the Durutti Column Brighton show SBD...which does have it properly identified as Sallis Benney Hall and *not* the Zap Club.
LETS SEE IF YOU'VE GOT ANY PARGUTS (FLLR 040)
Lossless bonuses (the non-filler, if I daresay...) with the DC sourced from bcingyou's versus from norecordshopsleft's much more pristine-sounding "M1".
Durutti Column - 15 Dec 1984, which was also featured on the old ESWA blog.
New Order - 1985-10-26 - Sheffield University (soundcheck). This has the pre-cleanup versions of the Sylvia's tracks. I had to also remove a certain reference for being able to share this directly.

And finally, three DC tracks which *are* attributed to Zap Club, Brighton, same date....something somewhere is misidentified because it's a different performance of "Sketch For Summer".
