A brilliant find from jimllmixit and Ricardo on the forum – a four-song gem recorded in November 1992 at BBC Radio 1’s Maida Vale studios for the Jackie Brambles show.

I had to thank you very much for that post!
Liked Everything’s ruined a lot.
Merry Christmas
These Maida Vale recording are great, but the KFAD ones are just as good (best live version of What A Day amongst them). The AOTY recording was not as impressive for some reason, even though the live shows were great. They are all on different bootlegs that are out there.
WOW!! Have i missed something?? Ive never heard these recordings before! These are incredible! They were at their absolute peak of their powers in `92. now where can i download these? anyone know?
btw… thanks admin for posting, this made my year! ;))
I can’t take credit for finding this. I just remember bunking off school to tape it from the radio. There was also a competition that ran in the weeks before to win a place in the audience. I entered about 50 times but didn’t win….I would’ve killed to have been there. All these versions sound awesome
What I like about Patton’s bands is that they always evolve and rarely recycle ideas. Every Fantomas so far has stood out from previous releases…I hope that continues (if the band continues that is).
Fantomas is the fucking best! It’s been too damn long since their last album; just hope if a new album happens, I hope it won’t be an electronic mess like Patton mentioned. I wish Fantomas would tour soon — it would be more exciting than FNM quite honestly. By the way, love how they trash all those “artists” in the interviews, especially the garbage groups early FNM and Bungle are blamed for influencing. Oh, and Buzz Osbourne rules!
Great! Can’t get enough of this guys!
For those who can read portuguese an article about Sinfonica Heliopolis and a small interview with Patton:

Now- I’ve watched all three parts…. MAN, they are a bunch of cynical bastards- aren’t they?? LOVE IT!

Pretty funny early fantomas interview. There´s a part 2 and 3 aswell
The Sheffield show that’s included on the “It’s a Showtime Live” bootleg is also excellent. It’s on Grooveshark if anyone wants to check it out., though the quality isn’t great.
It’s just a shame that Patton’s voice became shot to all hell towards the end of ’92.
After all these years, the Billy / Puffy / Roddy combo at the beginning of Everything’s Ruined still gives me the chills (around 0:45). A perfect rendition of magnificent song.
