Teenage Fanclub - Everything Flows BBC Session

[@AlexB89]

This is, without a doubt, the best version

[@samhailess]

I agree. The original is still amazing though.

[@Vedder1992]

Yup. Best version. Cheers for posting.

[@danieltaylor2037]

Such a great song, the only problem is that the end doesn't go on for another two hours.

[@kevinweaver3120]

indeed

[@colinmclaughlin7020]

Haha yes! I find the solution is to just go on to all the other great covers, afghan whigs etc. For me, this is the song with the largest amount of worthy covers, red kross, j mascis etc but the fannie's will always be best. And it has to be this version, not the one on catholic education

[@sweetf2a]

@@colinmclaughlin7020 the Idlewild version is brilliant.

[@colinmclaughlin7020]

@@sweetf2a agreed 100%. Afghan whigs version is awesome too

[@mattaki]

we get older every year but you don't change or i don't notice you're changing i think about it every day but only for a little while and then i feel it i'll never know which way to flow set a course that i don't know i'll never know which way to flow set a course that i don't know the wind's blowing in my face lately find it hard to keep the pace and i'm looking for a place to go but only for a little while and then the feeling i'll never know which way to flow set a course that i don't know

[@roberth1322]

This version is legendary, and I'll tell you why - the change up of the guitar solo, the energising of it, which wasn't present in the recorded version on "A Catholic Education", after the vocals stop, starts a bit sooner and makes it so much better, puts a certain urgency into it. that is how to improve a song. Anyway, Norman is a huge fan of Broadcast, and I love him just for that alone.

[@Gaztronaut]

My favourite song of all time. The harmonies around the 3-minute mark on this version are beautiful. Shame they can't be heard on the original.

[@polki802]

i;m so proud that the fannies showed our American pals what west coast rock should sound like. no one ever came close to this and this was only a small wonderful part of what this brilliant band gave use

[@teamblitz1990]

One of the classic songs of the 90,s

[@teamblitz1990]

Put this song on repeat and sit back relax and mellow out Divine audio luxury ⭐

[@mark3man]

I can't tell you how delighted I am to hear this again and I haven't even pressed play yet.

[@Matt-ur3dm]

Have you pressed play yet?

[@mmaaggiiccddjj]

some say hes still delighted and still hasnt pressed play

[@mark3man]

yep, still sitting here, still delighted, still not pressed play@@mmaaggiiccddjj

[@mark3man]

nope, no need@@Matt-ur3dm

[@reverb1974]

The best ever eveything flows! got this free with a mag in the early nineties. Changed my life! every time I hear this track It means everything to me. the guitars ring in your head forever! If you love this you understand music (nevermind came out the same year) turn the lights off! hear this track and change your life forever!!!!!

[@mrazza69]

[@stevenwallace7002]

April 2021 and still listening. still a Fanny in love

[@johnbarry1965]

The Best version of this. Still got the tape!!!

[@howardparker923]

OMG This tape was incredible. This, Birdland and the Real People played incredible sets. Loved 'em.

[@DanBooth]

I have this tape and always thought this was the best version! Great I've found it again :)

[@steven1wallace]

Damn playing this on repeat on a drunken Friday night

[@mmaaggiiccddjj]

cheers

[@gavind9487]

6m23s of absolute musical bliss.

[@graymond9910]

What an amazing version of an amazing song!

[@MattHF]

I first heard TF on this tape that it seems so many of us had. When I heard the album version I was so disappointed. It doesn't get better than this take. thanks so much for posting - its been years since I heard this but I think about it often.

[@Vedder1992]

i also have the tape from way back when and agree that this is the best version

[@stephenthornton2115]

cant believe it is this tape! i had it too. made me so happy to hear it

[@redlumb953]

wish they'd release this version - so much better in the higher key

[@LimeyIce]

I used to have this tape, some brilliant material on it but this is the best version of Everything Flows.

[@karenwarren8993]

OMG I have been searching for this version for years! I lost it in a move overseas and just couldn't remember which freebie cassette I had it on. I always want to sing these vocals but they never quite work singing along with the Catholic Education version. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for sharing 💝

[@joedoe783]

Come back to this so often now. Thanks for posting.

[@warmwarmerdisco]

this version, especially the vocals give me the shivers. found a catholic education tape in a dollar bin. the quality was crap, but i played it until i lost it. lost it years ago and still think about it. i know i'm going to find it again!

[@leongecko]

been looking for this version for years! I had that cassette when it came out, good times.

[@bafiusreid]

I agree to every single word you wrote. This one gave a meaning to a part of my life. Greetings from Chile.

[@BoyMeetsSound]

I still have this tape! Purely because of the version of EF which is the best ive heard!

[@taichungtubbie]

I am another who has searched for years for this! Thanks for uploading it. I love it. It is by far the greatest version. ^ ^ ^ ^ This

[@hisoka866]

Raw and intense version.....Luv it!!

[@onionheart1]

i also still have the cassette somewhere. this version should had been the one used on the deep fried fanclub cd reissued last year. and even at over six minutes it,s still way too short ,could go forever. thanks for uploading

[@mickeydaquiche]

been searching for this for years. my preferred version too. many thanks

[@markgraham8468]

Also still have the tape. My favourite ever TFG song. Spectacular. Very underrated band.

[@keehon6950]

I eventually happened to see the Fannies played live earlier this year, if I die tomorrow, I will die a happy man!

[@jamiebyrne25]

unbelievable

[@Unfunny_Username_389]

Whoah - never heard this version before today!! Ace. Thanks so much for this.

[@herzausglas7879]

Probably the best version. This is a generational anthem. Anybody have a download link of this masterpiece? I can't leave without it!

[@sweetf2a]

I’ve got it on mp3

[@sweetf2a]

But there are ways to download from KZbin too

[@agratton1976]

arrr i remember that tape. played it over and over. this was my fav track off it

[@c86ish]

Agreed, the best version..

[@themanmachine125]

you're soooo right. all the BBC sessions i've ever heard kick ass. have you ever heard the pixies at the BBC? some seriously raw, brutal rock n' roll!

[@littlejonnyfrost]

Thanks for uploading this, I had this tape, once. Always was my preferred version.

[@steaknife3718]

Listened to this cassette to death in a girlfriends bedroom back in the autumn of 1991. I agree-the best free cassette given away by a music mag.

[@tabletop77]

I'd like to add my thanks as well. Lost my tape of this years ago and always preferred it to the single version...so good to hear it again.

[@docco007]

That cassette as a whole, is prob the greatest free giveaway ever

[@philmole1209]

I keep seeing references to the cassette. What's the story behind it? How was it given away?

[@docco007]

it was given away free with Vox magazine in the early 90's

[@linalmeemow]

@@docco007 I may be wrong, but I think it was "Select" rather than Vox.

[@wlilililililililili]

the definitive edition

[@kevinmcrobb2753]

Always reminds me of home, thanks for sharing this!

[@midski]

The definitive version. I lost my tape twenty years ago. This century sucks and rules at the same time.

[@souljubilant12]

peel sessions i love RIP John

[@hugh6917]

Mi canción favorita ya desde muchos años La mejor banda escocesa

[@CeeBee781]

HELL yeah

[@gibbo1968]

I have the tape in the loft as well! great song

[@deeohgee70]

Awesome

[@octopusbrains]

everyone here is right. this is the best version.

[@MichaelMagill-k9v]

Best lead solo ever .

[@mcdonaldgeraldmark]

Wow! That's really good.

[@CeeBee781]

lol. I'm excited too. I forgot about these guys

[@souljubilant12]

is it me or everything from BBC sessions rocks like it has a better sound...its alive!!!!

[@BoyMeetsSound]

Just checked my own tape and this is a different session to the one in the Vox cassette. Still a great one though

[@goldentony111]

It isn't a different version, it is from the Vox cassette. It is a black cassette with grey writing. Maybe you have the wrong cassette.

[@craigmcg6403]

aside from the brilliant peformance, the most amazing thing about this is the fact that the fannies appear to be essentially 5th billing on this otherwise heap o shite.

[@blakemcnamara9105]

This one sounds more melancholy than the original as that one portrays a bitter and cold vibe. Both are great though.

[@linalmeemow]

Think this was a session for the Mark Goodier weekday early evening show rather than Peel, if I remember correctly.

[@CeeBee781]

What a band... never quite got the attention they deserved, did they?

[@julianevans9548]

I think I might even prefer the live version on the Select Glastonbury 93 tape. (And I was there!)

[@Redswipe]

@mrazza69 yeah I had the same tape which came with Vox magazine. The best freebie I ever got with a mag. It had : EMF, Jesus Jones, Chapterhouse, Banderas, Paris Angels, The Dylans, Milltown Brothers, The Farm, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Birdland, Poppy Factory, Real People, Spirea X & Teenage Fanclub.

[@manbearpig7521]

What was the Chapterhouse track?

[@Redswipe]

@@manbearpig7521 It was Breather. You can pick this tape up on Discogs for about £1 + p&p

[@manbearpig7521]

@@Redswipe thanks! I remember it vividly.

[@mrazza69]

i think it came with select magazine or was the NME? anyway, i ahd it and it was the best free tape i ever got , thanks to the fannies track.. the rest of the stuff of the tape.. i can't even recall anymore!!

6 years later haha it came free with the VOX magazine mate, get back if you get the message.

[@johnbarry1965]

@agratton1976 Still got mine, Sally ann by The Milltown Brothers was also a good 'un!!

[@agratton1976]

my mission tommorow is to find this tape probably hidden in the loft somewhere

[@urakai25]

Where could I find a 320 Wav of this tune?

[@souljubilant12]

no i havent heard pixies but i seen the CD...i bet it is so raw and contagious....led zep is by far the best

[@4444sinners]

I had this tape! I had this tape! I had this tape! Was it from 'Select' magazine?

[@MrNellienell]

I still have this tape in a shoe box at ma Da's.

[@davidlambert855]

Awesome early 90s classic from Mr Blake etc. Shame about the irritating squit in the commercial just before it.

[@NeilDewhurst]

Definitely Vox, btw. My favourite version of this track.

[@hamjaahsan]

What is this song about? Falling in Love? Or being rejected?

[@Gaztronaut]

It's about life. How you never know what it will throw at you or where you're headed. Life is a flowing river that's too complex to be understood or predicted, so you might as well go where it takes you. The phrase Everything Flows is attributed to the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, although I don't know whether Norman had him in mind when he wrote the lyrics. Hope this helps :)

[@4444sinners]

Reply necessary: now people are throwing 'Select' into the mix. Save me a loft excursion, people.

[@boabstewart9347]

Should be the National Anthem

[@jools182]

Love Teenage Fanclub, but the production on the first two albums makes me sad, the bass and drums are so muffled. This is a much better production

[@4444sinners]

OK, just seen..it was Vox...no reply necessary...

[@paulgill2042]

fucking hell! EMF and Jesus Jones are playing after Teenage Fanclub! It's a travesty!

The Best Version Of This Song Without Doubt Is By 'Velvet Crush' It Rocks Like Hell...
