Hail the King of Cats

by Shapeshifter

/

about

After one incarnation of Shapeshifter dissolved in 2000 and before another rose out of its ashes, band stalwart Dave Johnson returned to the fold to join Maureen and previous member Jim Tetlow for a one-off jam to see what would happen.

Hail the King of Cats was the final jam of the night before packing up. The recording lay dormant on a couple of 4-track cassettes for eight years until Jim digitally transferred and mixed this track; the earlier pieces of the session took a further decade to emerge and are documented on the album The Hungry Ghosts.
