Eternal - Breathe [10"]


Before Christian Savill joined Slowdive as a 3rd guitar player, he was in a band called ETERNAL. They released only one 7" in 1990, on the legendary Sarah Records label. It had three tracks: Breathe, Sleep and Take Me Down. Sleep was actually covered by Slowdive during the recording sessions for Souvlaki, but it didn't end up on the album. It can be found on various bootlegs, such as Hide Yer Eyes for example.
You can listen to the song Sleep in the original version here, and this is the version Slowdive did.
Earlier this year, Graveface Records released a reissue of this excellent shoegaze gem as part of their Charity Series, with proceeds going to Charge Family Support Group. This time around, the BREATHE EP was released on a 10" format with one extra track (Remember), which was recorded by Christian during the same recording sessions for Souvlaki.
I've been looking for the original 7" on Sarah Records for quite a while, but it's extremely hard to find. So this reissue was a welcome surprise, especially because it has this otherwise unavailable 4th track.
