The Shambles – Sessions:
The Shambles have participated in many recording
sessions over the years. Here we provide a general Sessionography covering
1976-2005, with a mix of demos, released recordings, and side projects. The list
is a work in progress, and as such is very much incomplete, both in actual
sessions and songs recorded. None of Bart or Kevin’s home demo sessions, studio
visits involving mixes, overdubs or production work are included, unless they
were released. Multiple takes are not listed but alternate versions are.
