Urusei Yatsura made their second album, Slain By, through the summer of 1997, recording at Konk in north London and mixing at Whitfield Street Studios. These eleven DATs follow the record through each stage, and the finished records come with them.
From Konk come three Ampex session tapes: Mon Mixes (27/5/97), Monitor Mixes #1 (25.6.97), and Mon Mixes (voc) #1 (26.6.97). Then come six Sony DATs: Safety Mixes DATs one, two, and three (3.7.97, 7.7.97, and July 97), a Recalled Mixes copy and a Listening Copy Mixes DAT (both July 97 and marked “Not for production”), and Album Order DAT copy one (23-9-97). Two Whitfield Street safety copies, DAT two and DAT four, dated September 1997, are still in their case.
Alongside the tapes are a promo CD of Slain By in a kraft card sleeve and the album’s singles: “Hello Tiger” on CD1 (Che 75cd1) and on CD2 with the Peel Session version (Che 75cd2), and “Slain By Elf” on CD, in its digipak, and on 7-inch.
