  • Precious Blood - Limited Edition Cassette
    Cassette + Digital Album

    Precious Blood, recored live to tape in 1980 by Dublin's The peridots (always low cap p).

    It's a black and pink cassette box with 'barbed wire' mounted on the front.
    Black C20 cassette, 3 songs on side A, 4 songs on side B.
    Pink sticker to indicate A side.
    Insert on pink card.

    This is a very limited edition. For the moment we're just doing 10 of these because they take way too much time/effort to make (hence the price).

    We'll likely do a normal, less expensive edition (without the bared wire) at a later date.

    This edition begins shipping on March 30th.

    Cassettes shipped by registered mail.

  • Cassette on BASF Chrome Tape
    Cassette + Digital Album

    I've managed to make 3 more of the barbed wire boxes. So if anyone lost out on the first edition then now's your chance. There are only 3. Its exactly the same except for the cassette inside, which instead of a black cassette, is a C90 BASF chrome tape as shown in the photo.
    Please only purchase 1 per person. Thanks.

about

the peridots · Steve, Stan, Pete, Dublin.

When the Modern Heirs played their first gig –Sutton, supporting the Virgin Prunes, there were 13 in the band. We became the peridots because anytime the band got mentions, Steve was always mentioned. We chanced on the name because we couldn’t think of anything less fitting.

Instruments: - Kawai synth, Transcendent 2000 – built by a school friend
A really crappy rhythm machine bought for £40. An eight channel mixer. An almond shaped guitar. A multiplex effects box – dropped the note by an octave – so he could play bass and lead.

April 1980 – recorded live (no sequences, editing, or pre-recorded stuff) eight tracks in eight days. June - precious blood - recorded live the day we wrote it. In early 1981, Stan bought a 12 string guitar so we recorded Open Season/Calm before he could ruin the endeavour by learning how to play. we continued on for another few months before Stan had had enough of the madness and quite to form Stars Of Heaven.

Pete Hamilton, 2016.
