    The 1990/1993 Echo and the Bunnymen lineup featured vocalist/lyricist Noel Burke, bass player Les Pattinson, guitarist Will Sergeant, keyboards player Jake Brockman and drummer Damon Reece. Bunnymen history had taken an irrevocable turn on June 14th, 1989, when drummer Pete de Freitas died in a motorcycle crash.

    I took as my starting point Steve Doughty's excellent and comprehensive Bunnymen Recordings site, and have filled in gaps using the Seven Seas Archive (which went back to January 1st, 1999 at the time I copied it all into text files), as well as the various other web pages and articles cited in my listings. This is still very much a work in progress. I have received a good deal of help from members of the Seven Seas and Bunnymen.com communities -- thank you all!
