"7 Sisters" is by Pip, and of course you know the rest.

This is a "recording of indeterminate origin," i.e. a bootleg. If you buy it from me, it'll be the first time anyone in the band has seen a quid from it.

This was recorded about 36 hours before Pip passed. He played possibly his best show of the tour. "After the concert everyone was in good spirits and Phil and Pip (who had known each other since the age of four) went out together and stayed out till 3am. It's a consolation to know that Pip's career eneded on a high, happy note in the company of lifelong friends...."

Jakko Jakszyk's amusing story about Pip Pyle:
"Having fallen out with his other band members, not for the first time, Pip heads off to get drunk on his own. He finds a strange collection of really small bars in a nearby district of Tokyo. He starts in one and walks the down the small streets to the next. Eventually he sees one in the distance that has neon sign out side that says 'Pip's Bar'.

Obviously he makes a bee line for the place. He tells the proprietor that 'This is my bar'. The owner, no doubt no stranger to drunks, humours him, but remains wary. Pip continues to call it 'His bar' to the continuing annoyance of the landlord. Eventually Pip gets his passport out and says 'That's me, my name's Pip.'

To his astonishment the bar owner looks at the picture and asks 'You Pip Pyle? You Pip Pyle!' His face begins to light up.

Pip rather warily says 'Err yes.'

The owner, unable to believe what's happened says, with increasing excitement 'this is your bar; I name it after you' and proceeds to bring out various pieces of Hatfield and the North memorabilia…"

"Pip told me the exact same story. I think this was during the In Cahoots mini-tour in 1991 (his first time playing in Japan)." - Aymeric Leroy
