At last I upload one of my favourite bands: THE GO-BETWEENS. Australian born, but with a very british pop appeal: they split in 1989 after their beautiful "16 Lovers lane", only to reunite 11 years later, and by now they've recorded three more albums.
So, what you could find here is a bit of a gem for fans : the so-called "Botany sessions", i.e. the sessions for what had to be the following to "16 Lovers Lane" but never was.
The first (and longer) part is acoustic, with the only Forster and McLennan.

Nice!
Thanks a lot for that!
i'm late to the party ..
any chance of a 2nd upload?
Just recently found your blog and like it very much--you post some great stuff. I am a huge Go-Betweens fan as well and would be highly appreciative of a 2nd upload of this. I'm dying to hear it. Thank you!!!
I can only second anonymous and john! Could you please repost these sessions that sound so fabulous? Thanks!!
It's such a treat to hear acoustic versions of these songs. Thankyou! I always though Grant's solo work to be too overproduced. I was lucky to see The Go-Betweens on the Tallulah tour. They are a hidden treasure. There are so many beautiful songs they gave us. When Grant died, I played "bye bye pride", wiped the tears from my eyes and thought what a shame more people have not heard this. It's like a long lost Mamas and Papas tune. Brilliant!!
Hey I found this on Google. I have some of the Botany Session but I've a few gaps to fill. Please repost this at some point!
Any chance that you can re-up this please?
