OCTOBER

23rd
Michael Demsey left one week after the tour with the Banshees was over. Simon Gallup )bass) and Mathieu Hartley (keyboards) joine the new line up. They started to rehearse intensely for the new tour planned the following month.

The repertoire included songs: Seventeen Seconds, Play For Today, In Your House, A Forest, M, Another Journey By Train.

The original titles for the new songs were quite surprising: AM (In Your House), 44F (Another Journey By Train), Bleak One (A Forest). None of the songs included their definitive lyrics.
