Here are some tracks to play along with. The first set, recorded sometime in the 2000s, has alternative chord progressions to the normal. You will have to guess the tunes from the titles. Scroll down for more. My greatest of thanks to the late Dave Trigwell for the wonderful drumming. I recorded the piano and bass parts and then asked Dave to come over and played the tracks while recording the drums with an overhead microphone. In the notation, a + means sharp and a - means flat. Feel free to phrase the tune any way you like. Click here to go to plage 2 of the playalongs.

Hint - Don't be put off by the complicated chords in these alternative changes. If you print off the music you can write in the scales, which will make it a lot easier to play. I did this when I came up with the Scoredchanges notation to put them to a test. Here is the result of that. This is
All or Nothing at all
and here is the tune I retitled as
I Dismember You
I'm afraid I don't have the chord charts or backing tracks for these two.
These (below) should mostly be familiar to people and have the standard chord progressions. For this reason, I have not included any written notation. The recording was made in the late 1980s with the great Adrian Kendon on bass (who also made the recording), the wonderful Ron Parry on drums and vocals (count-ins) and myself on piano.
