'Track 7' Soundtrack

So, before we get to the full soundtrack, the eagle eyed amongst you (frankly, even those who are blind as a bat!) will already have spotted this chapter’s added bonus.

A ‘Challenge 69’ reader, who records as Samfire, very kindly offered to record a short cover version of the chapter’s title song ‘How Soon is Now?’; and there are two very good reasons why you should take a look/listen;

• I had to apply to Substack to get video functionality added to my posts, so please make my efforts worth it, and, far more importantly,

• It’s VERY GOOD! (Thanks again Phoebe).

This latest ‘Track’ was, once again, quite heavy on the music references, so to get through the full Soundtrack you’ll need to be pretty dedicated (at over one hundred minutes), and it will help if you like a bit of Smiths and Gang of Four!

If, however, you can only afford the time to dip in, then can I strongly recommend you try the three Boys Next Door/Rowland S Howard songs in the middle. I don’t trot out the phrase, “undiscovered genius,” lightly, but here I think it’s entirely justified.

Thanks everybody, again, for supporting ‘Challenge 69’. Hope you are enjoying it.

I should be back from ‘the frozen wastes’ next week, and will hopefully be able to squeeze in enough ‘editing’ to get ‘Track 8’ out to you all on schedule on 10 December.
