about

"A440" is a song by The Puddle that has never been properly released. This live recording from Chick's Hotel, Port Chalmers in 2015 isn't going to change that, but it's a gloriously hypnotic version of the song, which had the audience and the band in a six and a half minute trance.

A live version of the song by an earlier line-up of the band appeared on a couple of DIY cassettes in the 1980s and on "Runner: A Compilation Of New Zealand Music" released on CD on Alastair Galbraith's Next Best Way label in 1994.

On the 'B side' is another live favourite "Billie & Franz" this time recorded live at Taste Merchants, Dunedin in November 2011, just prior to the band heading off on some Nunvember (Flying Nun 30th anniversary) shows with The Bats.
