The Shambles – Sessions:
The Shambles have participated in many recording sessions over the years. Here we provide a general Sessionography covering 1976-2005, with a mix of demos, released recordings, and side projects. The list is a work in progress, and as such is very much incomplete, both in actual sessions and songs recorded. None of Bart or Kevin’s home demo sessions, studio visits involving mixes, overdubs, mastering or production work are included, unless they were released. Multiple takes are not listed but alternate versions are.
