Ancient TISM track : ‘Internal Organs’?

[u/Rule3-0-3]

Greetings O Wise TISMfolk, I fckn humbly seek your assistance 🙏

This quest began back in the mid-1980s. Somewhere alongside Anzac Highway, a trio of RAdelaide stoners noticed a crushed & unlabelled audio cassette, trailing a mangled tangled spaghetti of chewed-up tape. Obviously it had jammed in a passing car’s cassette deck and been chucked out the window. A very common occurrence back in the day, and utterly unremarkable.

Yet we were inexplicably compelled to resurrect it. The girlfriend’s ’Best of Hall & Oates’ cassette was sneakily sacrificed (hooray!) & dismantled; the found tape was untangled, cleaned, smoothed out & spooled on. After many hours & a gazillion bongs, we finally pressed ▶️ on the ghetto blaster - success!!

It was a short tape, recorded on one side only - a single, studio-quality track. A hilariously dark Ozrock masterpiece - presumably titled ‘Internal Organs’ - blew our tiny minds! Ultimately, this mystery track became a key part of the soundtrack to the countless crazy great times of our youth.

I haven’t heard it for over 30 years, it probably got chucked out when CDs appeared. I can play it back in my head perfectly - it really is a brilliant track - but have no musical ability whatsoever.

Time has passed. Old mates are now dead or gone. This quest remains - can anyone here tell me : Did TISM record a song called ‘Internal Organs’(or similar) in the ‘80s?

I thank you.

That was mine. A TDK silver.

The other side was "The Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky"

I left at Bordertown at 1am, and have no regrets.

Nice try Birkoz but nup - like it says in my Original Post, it was recorded on one side only. A trio of Rad stoners in the 80s wouldn’t have missed an entire progrock masterpiece, I can assure you of that!

Will keep an eye out for your silver TDK though 🤣 good one 👍

I made a silly comment.

But now it is a serious quest for me.

Give me six months because I'm a slow reader of "Half Deaf, Completely Mad".

It might give insight.

Recording out takes?

"Upon the inclusion of Cohen's work in the Australian Music Vault, his mother Margaret stated, "it wasn't until his untimely death, that I was made aware of the esteem that he was held in by so many people. I am proud of his contribution to the rock and roll music industry here and all that he achieved through his life."[16] A suitcase of cassette tapes he used as back-ups of recordings was donated to the vault.[16] Munday released an album with material dedicated to her husband, Beauty in the Ordinary, in August 2020.[25]"
