Additional Info on Sessions

Rough Enough Stuff:
Rough Enough Stuff (also sometimes known as Ruff Stuff Sessions) is a lo-quality session recorded by Peter Doherty and Carl Barat. It is thought that the pair recorded the five tracks in the period between their drummer Paul Dufour leaving The Libertines, and their new drummer Gary Powell joining the band; dating the tracks sometime around late 2000 – 2001. The tracks are very “rough” demos of the songs we know today (hence the name of the session dubbed by fans), and include a drum machine.

It is thought that Ruff Enough Stuff tracks were probably recorded in The Albion Rooms with some cheap equipment, due to the bad quality of the songs. Although they were probably recorded 2000/2001, it wasn’t until around 2005 that these tracks were leaked onto the internet, by Andrew Kendall.

Interestingly, the early version of Boys in the Band included in this session contains sections from Skint and Minted, later to be released as a B-side to Don’t Look Back Into the Sun.

Nomis Sessions:
The Nomis Demos were two sets of tracks recorded by The Libertines in December 2001 and February 2002 respectively, prior to the sessions for debut LP, Up the Bracket. They were the first sets of demos recorded since the band had been signed to ROUGH TRADE. When Andrew Kendall uploaded the content of Doherty’s “My Music” folder, in April 2006, it contained a folder called “Unknown Album (28-04-2004 01-36-15)” which contained the second set of Nomis Demos.

The tracks General Smuts, Bangkok and Mr. Finnegan from the second set of Nomis demos were all released as B Sides to the single Time for Heroes in early 2003. The first set of Nomis demos has never been released and is not available for fans to hear.

The French Session:
The French sessions are a set of four tracks, that were recorded by The Libertines and French musicians, in France, in January 2003.

It is rumoured that The Libertines recorded the new songs without telling their record label, ROUGH TRADE, and they were angry with the band, especially when they decided to give The French sessions away for free.

Branding Session:
The Branding Sessions contain two tracks, that were recorded by Peter Doherty sometime between March 2004 and August 2004. Although they were recorded only by Doherty, they are often credited to The Libertines. The session is one of the shortest recorded, only containing a version of Can’t Stand Me Now using a drum machine, and a version of Stix and Stones (which would later go on to be recorded by Doherty with Babyshambles) with a trumpet (it is possible this was played by Carl). The Branding sessions were apparently recorded at Exmouth Market.

Doherty changed the lyrics in the song Can’t Stand Me Now to be about his relationship with Barat. For example “You taught me how play guitar/Smoke like a superstar” and “I read every review/They all prefer you”.
