Trivia

This is just a guesstimation.

In Sounds - January 9, 1977 - Phil Sutcliffe wrote a long article about Last Exit.

The few facts:


  • Potential cost for the band coming down for the gig and recording would have been:

Petrol (van and two cars) £58 Accommodation (B&B, band plus roadie, five nights at £4each) £100 Studio (30 hours at £8 an hour) £240 Living expenses (minimum £2 per head per day) £50 Total = £448

(although Last Exit actually played for nothing Virgin's backing with studio time and petrol money probably reduced this to about £80 spent to be split between the four members of the band)


  • Equipment

Terry: Gibson Stereo 335, Carlsbro Stingray 100-watt amp, Vox AC3O amp, Marshall 4x12 cabinet, Melosphase pedal, home-made volume pedal, Crybaby wah-wah pedal.

Gerry: Fender-Rhodes Stage 73 piano, Simms-WattsPA100 amp, two Unilex Transit 100 watt bins, Crybaby wah-wah, Ibanez phaser, WOZ (= home-made by Jim) automatic wah-wah.

Ronnie: Gretsch kit, Avedis ZiIdjian cymbals, Rogers hi-hat; Ludwig Speed-King bass drum pedal, 20 year-old Ludwig snare-drum pedal.

Sting: Fender Jazz bass, Marshall Super Bassman 100watt amp, Fender Dual Showman cabinet.

PA: two Carlsbro mini-bins, Carlsbro Marlin 1042.

Monitors: H&H TPA 5OD 100 watt Slave amp, twoWhite 2x12 cabinets.

Mikes: Shure Unidyne 111.


According to contemporary UK magazines the Dingwall's gig did not happen on September 6 or September 13. Isaac Guillory was in London the week prior to September 20. The gig at the Nashville Room took place on October 5.

So today is the best guess for this Dingwall's gig as described by Phil Sutcliffe.
