Ultrasound - "Stay Young" On Later with Jools Holland

[bigtone12]

And yes, the chick on Bass is STILL hot.

[bigtone12]

Saw Ultrasound at Break For The Border last week, played Stay Young right at the end...fucking epic. Crowd went fuckinig batshit when this came on. Tiny was in fine form.

[SteveResin]

Genius track, great band, and the chick on bass was HOT.

[thegolderncalf1960]

coming soon to a venue near you we hope the north awaits punk floyd .. the loons are now shorts and the shell toes are waiting for the first drum roll ., a big dirty glass of bacardi mixed with a tin of jolt coke a cola preserved in ice .yous guys rock

[theramfan71]

There back reformed new album next year!!

[12321ethan]

@theramfan71 yeh man my dad part owns the record label they're on. They're finishing the album now

[lolgrant]

I was at the legendary Camden Falcon gig in 97 in the back room when there was maybe 50-60 people and many of them A&R men. I have seen many bands in such circumstances in front of less people before they made it big eg Nirvana, Blur, Oasis, Radiohead all in pubs/small venues before debut albums released - but the difference here was that Ultrasound actually were the finished article unlike the others. The room was electric and I shall never forget that night.

[MOSTechnology]

Why wasnt this massive? I remember seeing this and buying the single and thinking they were gonna be around for a long while.

[shotfan]

I remember watching them do this (on TV unfortunately!) at Glastonbury 1998. Went out the next day and got this CD single!

A fantastic and all-too-short lived band! Shame they didn't come to Ireland last year on their reunion tour...

[ollyski81]

Just a shame they fell out (?)

They are still my favorite band. I went to see them @ Cambridge 1998 supporting Placebo.

Amazing...

[TheFiskmann]

This is the best thing to happen to music in years. I last saw Ultrasound on the same set as Billy Childish and Patti Smith in the new bands tent at Glastonbury. see you at the Bull and gate in july. Has anyone got a recording of " Hive" to put up here. I had it but can't see it anywhere anymore

[BlackHole2005]

THEY'RE BACK! :D :D

[bitchoflivingblah]

I bought this CD single after listening to Floodlit World, and was blown away by this song. I'm so dead jealous of anyone who has seen them live. This song is definitely one of my favourite songs of all time. It is my childhood.

[seacow1970]

I thought Everything Picture was a landmark album. Seen a lot of bad press about them - dunno why. Disappointed they just disappeared.

[AndrewKevinNewtonTV]

there only song that was good.

[MrBillUp]

Top draw!! What memories!! I got shitfaced with Tiny and the gang at Reading Rock back in the 90's. I had seen them play live a few times and thought they were great. Tiny walked past me, I told him how good the band was, and he offered me back stage for a piss up!! Great band and Stay Young is in my top 5 singles of all time. Thanks so much for posting this!! ;)

[MeenGMeenie]

i cannot fucking wait to see these guys live again!!!!

[Eightball69]

Ace chops on a Burgundyglo Rickenbacker....that's what I'm talking about!

[TerryLatic]

Just been to see the gig at the Brudenell in Leeds - words to describe it difficult to come up with, but magnificent nearly does it!

[nineteenninetyfive]

haha, rock moves at the end

[newmalden]

Apparently they're reforming. Pray let this be true.

[partridgezombie71]

Nice one Vanessa, you've got some great pipes !

Remember seeing you support Placebo and you were miles better, compared to the ridiculous adulation, Brian Molko got.

[Vanessabest33]

Yes we are doing it, go on facebook join our page Ultrasound 2010, then you will find a link to 'A concert'.

All info on there inc. links to tickets...........Gig is in Sept. xxx

[LiquidDreamsUK]

They are in the studio making a new album, so a few gigs are highly likely....

[FactoryStStudios]

They are getting together for a gig.......soon....

[badhead]

@FactoryStStudios Really. Where did you hear this?

[FactoryStStudios]

@badhead Sorry our mistake...someone got the wrong end of a random stick

[FactoryStStudios]

@FactoryStStudios Or did they? Keep an eye out....

[KarrieMoore5]

mp3iifffy now lets you grab cd-quality VEVO videos and HD YouTube videos to convert into mp3s. AWESOME> google mp3iifffy.

[thedene]

Remember seeing Ultrasound at The Garage in Glasgow blowing Travis away on their own patch. Brilliant.

Shame all the Travis fans were still in the bar and missed the show.

[neospawn02000]

Such a good band!!

[fizzb100]

'Gary Glitter's gone to seed so who will lead us now'

Unfortunately, 10 years down the line the answer seems to be Simon Cowell.

We can only hope he meets the same fate as Gary.

[KurtVanRimmer]

Great band, should have been massive (no pun intended!). This is such a great song, thanks for posting!!!

[narcisissyistic]

lush soundscaping going on!

[Stundek]

I remember watching this episode of Later and I was hanging out for Tori Amos. Anyway, saw this for the first time - next thing you know I've got a copy of "Everything Picture" in my hands. Still one of my favourite albums ever. Thanks, Ultrasound.

[doey33]

Must dig out the album and stick it on my pod......

Nice one!!

[delgadosfan]

What a feckin amazing song!!! I miss Ultrasound!!!

[jajonesy1]

Iquiverbuzz, met the lady bass player recently. Vanessa. She's a music teacher now and she's fab! great personality and looks identical to ten years ago, in fact better.

[ghost27dog]

Great 90's band! Still sounds as good today.

Tiny had odd hair!

Thanks for up loading.

[quiverbuzz]

About 16 when this came out, and lusted after that lady bassist.

25 now, and still lust after that lady bassist. She's proper tidy.

That fat singer bloke can fuck right off. ;)

[ybot1983]

@quiverbuzz your a moron

[nickgusset]

I dropped that Mellotron on my foot once!

[casiodan]

Richard Green now plays with The Heavens, search youtube for them, you will love them.

[becca1979]

i saw them at the leadmill in sheff with embrace he kept showing his belly which was unpleasent but were a good band shame really

[mstipendiary28]

Later is a treasure trove and goldmine of SHIT HOT live music like this that you never see any more. Thanks for uploading this piece of genius.

[thenos4rat2]

great track, incredible, use a mellotron too which is a bonus

[sycokillerz]

I remember there was a band called Tiny 2 in homage to the lead singer they weren't bad either does anybody know what happened to them?

[geneclart1]

Shame about the Gary G litter lyric otherwise this would have been a minor classic

[anthonygonsalves]

Gary Glitter did go to seed lol.

[seacow1970]

That was a really great album. I bought it after seeing them on "Later ..." - IIRC it came out a few weeks later. Within a year, they seemed to disappear. The album was then hard to get. People I played it to liked it, and we had to rip it, so they could get a copy, as it wasn't in shops. I really liked the cover art as well.

[Fanien76]

It's incredible,after years i've found some videos about Ultrasound!This guys rocks!Come back!

[dannybsaint]

seriously, ever since i saw this band on BBC Glasto highlights i have been playing the everything picture album. it has slipped from my playlist obviously over the years, but there is just something about ultrasound that stays with you forever - pure quality, find it & tell everyone you know about this band and celebrate that incredible album.

[lightoffuturedays]

check out the 'sleepy people' album 'blunt nails in a sharp wall' (recorded 93/94) on org records. it's interesting. some of the members of this band were involved in it..

[craydee75]

I've uploaded the video to this on my channel.

[peterecoil]

one of the best bands i have ever seen , amazing songx x

[toddbulky]

Magnificent band - saw Tiny when he was fronting "A-pop-a-cat-a-petal" (supported Cardiacs at the Astoria) - he kept blowing fountains of water into the air like a whale- we got drenched!

[Nath66Nath66]

Wow yes I allways thought they should have been huge, i saw them supporting pulp in a park in london and with placebo at folkstone .

If theres any myspace pages Id love to know !!

[mantle0000]

A wonderful mix of uneasy sinister chords mixed with lightening and stress-relieving harmonies. It's sad when artistic differences occur; Morrissey/Marr, Gilmour/Waters etcetera because I think the communication stalemate deprives us all of some really great potential and important work. Vanessa, have you got Richard and Tiny's phone number, luvly jubbly, you know it makes sense!

[mantle0000]

Well this is what I call 'Cot Death Syndrome' in musical terms. 'Everything Picture' was one of the most original albums I have ever heard. I really think this band could have been massive, given time. So many brave new concepts and arrangements throughout the album and the final title track is one of the most daring artistic adventures ever.

[LiquidDreamsUK]

Well...I finally fixed my pc and 3 minutes of 'Floodlit world' is available for your perusal.....

[tabtom1]

brillant song 'garry glitters gone to seed' great line...what happened to these lot, thinking of all the shit that was out round this time that had successful if short lived careers (hurricane no.1 anyone?) then these lot should have at least got to make another album

[enduropunk]

Uff... ke recuerdos...

*_*

[raistllynn]

I first heard of that song and the band when they supported either Mansun or Garbage. That song made me cry and it made my heart soar at the same time. Best supporting act ever. Vanessa - you guys should have been megastars. You wuz robbed. I think you know what you have to do - call the guys.

[darlarat]

God, this brings back memories...

[Vanessabest33]

Oh my god I remember signing your pants! x

[Vanessabest33]

Oi I remember signing your pants! x

[MrBowie]

Absolutely wonderful song - tried to find this for ages!

[bazrock]

vanessa signed my dirty kecks for me at a ulu gig a few years ago i threw them on stage and they landed on the neck of her bass she kindly returned them after the gig signed, unfortunately my mum washed them!!! ultrasound rock the big one!!!!!!!

[jadebumhead]

Vanessa best is now a music teacher at my school :)

Shes been there for years now and always talks about ultrasound and how she played on jools and glasto.

I am not lying.

And I have a weird screen name cause I couldnt think of any good youtube names. Honest :D

[redkola]

tell her from me she was unlucky and should have been a superstar.

[LiquidDreamsUK]

...and i've also got 'Floodlit World' from this episode of Jools, but my pc has a problem and I cant download it!! AArhgggh

[Vanessabest33]

I'll show you mine, we were all gold!

[stevienixlover]

Thanks for that. Don't suppose you've got it to upload. Was it exclusively for MTV?

[INDIANBLANKET]

I'm actually ashamed to admit that I had forgotten what a brilliant song this was/is.

[gregster1978]

I get total goosebumps still listening to this song. I also loved 'Kurt Russell'. Ace.

[badhead]

Such a shame that this band have been forgoton. they shit on Razorlight, and most other bands that are around today.

[bigcheese2001]

class

[stevienixlover]

Get that Bass out of the wardrobe Vanessa and give Tiny & Co a call. SAME BAND!!!

[Vanessabest33]

Go on.......someone start a campaign for a reunion gig. Either Im having a mid life crisis or the whole break up was a terrible mistake. It would be unbelievable to play those songs with the boys again.

xxxx

[mhatma]

PLEASE do this.

[adamdovey]

PLEASE could you do Underwater Love Story too?

[stevienixlover]

I remember seeing a video of Ultrasound on MTV where everyone was naked! Am I mistaken? If not, which song was it?

[maclennan73]

@Vanessabest33 Please, please, please, I was going to say don't leave it to Shed Seven to re-unite and remind us of our age and how bad they were, but I think they've only gone and done it. So as we all might be having a mid life crisis please come and blow away the corporate cobwebs with your brilliance!

[rhiannonband]

@Vanessabest33 How does it feel to have finally done it?

[PHOTRT]

@Vanessabest33

:) :) :) never thought I'd get to see you guys live, thanks so much for provin me wrong... whatever you do don't make that terrible mistake again! welcome back & good luck x

[liverpoolover2]

@Vanessabest33

[spdalley]

@Vanessabest33 We need a reunion now even more than ever!!!!! amazing band saw then in the new bands tent at glastonbury years ago (they weren't even a new band then) and were the best band of the festival!!!!

[beadfc]

I have a vhs of Stay Young recorded from the BBC Glastonbury coverage. I think it was 1998. Absolutely awesome.

[gravemaurice]

I saw the 'Sound a few times up here in Scotland and the show at la Belle Angel in Edinburgh was absolutely mobbed with anticipation.

I've got some live recordings off the radio but my favourite stuff is the Nude demos and also the Popacatapetal tracks recorded pre Ultrasound which are like early Pink Floyd/Genesis.

Check ou Tiny's myspace page and the one for "Siren".

[oliverjdavis]

absolutley amazing! does anyone have the album with the 50 minute grand finale!!

[kitschobject]

one day Ultrasound will reform and it will be the best day of my life.

i'll let you know when i become a millionaire

[FuriousWank]

Incredible, thanks for that. My friend and I cornered Richard after a gig in Maidstone and offered to have his babies. Being male, that wouldn't have worked but he took it pretty well!

[vinunleaded]

So glad I got to see them in London at the LA2 (now The Mean Fiddler) before they split up.

[LiquidDreamsUK]

Come on Matt work out how to update the 'Floodlit World' clip I sent you!!!

Great band, great performance, great album and some damm good singles!!!!

[pcdave98]

At last - some Ultrasound on YouTube! I'd grown sick of searching and ending up with foetus videos. It's as though the band had been airbrushed out of musical history.

Does anyone know where I could download this song as the track on Everything Picture is scratched? Gary Glitter is no longer going to seed - he just clicks and stops.

[stevienixlover]

Itunes has it. Gary Glitter can go to seed once more along with his Bangkok Chick Boys!!

[Vanessabest33]

Thanks that is so nice to see, we did a fantasic gig at the old Camden Falcon just before we were signed and people were hanging from the rafter, the whole place drippin in sweat. I know a guy who worked for Independiente (previously TOTP producer) Rik Blaxill, filmed it. I would love to see that too. Lets see who reads this.......... Fingers crossed. Oh and of course Live at Reading in the big tent second headline to Spiritualized. Someone somewhere must have filmed it.......... XXXXX

[stevienixlover]

If you are the real Vanessa Best, you've got a bloody great voice. Everything Picture is an epic. REFORM NOW!! The world needs quality original stuff again!!

[Vanessabest33]

Thanks, I think the party is over. I am a music teacher now thanklessly dragging teenagers through school. I really miss being creative. It might be time to take control and change a few things.............. Its nice to still be appreciated. x

[stevienixlover]

What a performance! You should be proud. You guys were going to be huge and then boom! I bet you lot together again could work things out. An Ultrasound reunion would be big.

[stephencollyer]

The lady can certainly sing.

I also have Everything Picture & thought Vanessa's vocal seemed rather under-used.

Great album though; Floodlit World was my fave.

[stevienixlover]

I agree. Floodlit World is a great song. Great harmonies.

[jittercritter111]

Quality song, cheers :D

[CHATMOSSMAN]

love this, haven't seen it since it was first broadcast way back. Woke up thinking about it and had a look on you tube. Any more?

Thanks
