18/09/02 I recently corresponded with Steve & Andy about the proposed running order for the second (aborted) Graduate LP. Please see the following from Andy........

“In the sleeve notes to the CD i stated that a second twelve track lp was 'planned'. It has been pointed out to me that there are nine additional tracks on the CD plus two that remain with Sanctuary as un-released ("Me or you" and "Let's talk about you") which gives a total of eleven - is/are there further un-released tracks?”

NO !

“Can you remember whether the LP was to be 12 tracks and if so what that additional track would be?”

THE original demo master for the "Ambition" album contained these tracks in
this order :-

1 Only The Best
2 Premature Baby
3 Happened So Fast
4 O U Boyz
5 Let's Talk About U **
6 Ambition
7 I C Thru U **
8 Think of Me **
9 Me or U
10 Christ Look Upon Us
11 Sam **

Tracks 5,7,8 &11 were old songs that we'd demo'd on different occasions years earlier, but we put them in to add to the 7 new songs that Rol had written, to make up enough for an album. Because it was never released, we don't know how many tracks would have been used, or in what order.

I suppose the record Co would have put Ambition as the title track, although it's not the strongest song, but we'll never know !

Although I have old demos of other songs, none of these would have been good enough to include in the album so I guess it would have been a maximum of 11 tracks.

Hope that clears that up !

13/09/02 It seems that someone out there thinks they used to be the lead singer of Graduate - “DEBBIE DETRIOT could have been a contender. At the age of 13 she was lead singer with a group called *The Graduate* who later changed their name to *Tears for Fears* (A million selling act of the eighties). Sadly at the time of a record deal Debbies mum thought she was too young to be in a band and wouldn*t let her sign the record deal, so she missed out on all the fame and money aquired by that group.”

Presumably somebody with a very vivid imagination. Check the following link for full details :
