The lowest of fi recordings, direct from the Racer household on Ash Road, Headingley. Good times. It was just like the Beatles in Help, apart from the obvious differences.

"Railway" CS (Fluff 023, 1991)
 
  • Railway

Although I was never shown or given a copy, this was listed in the Fluff discography and has a catalogue number. It is my understanding that DMCL, who ran Fluff records, was selling cassette dubbed copies of the single after it sold out. To be fair, he was selling them very cheaply. Although at the time, I wasn’t too pleased about it.

  • "Patric Walker" on "Eleven" CD (Mobstar 011, 2000) "Patric Walker" was included on this compilation without us actually being properly asked. Originally we gave this track to Raving Pop Blast records in 1990! (R.P.Blast became Mobstar). "Patric" was meant to be our first release on a compilation single with The Fine Art Of Shoplifting fanzine. But Raving Pop Blast never had any money, so Mobstar included it on this, a very different compilation 11 years later. But that’s okay, because Andrew Jarrett is sincerely one of the reasons I formed a band and could never do wrong in my eyes.
  • "Goblin (live)", "G/A Minor (live)" & "Baleen (live)" on "Feed Me With Your Kiss" CS (Tacky Tapes 002, 1997) I have no idea where these live versions where recorded, in truth they are awful! I have no memory of giving these tracks to anyone, and was baffled as to why I would let anyone hear these tracks let alone give to someone to release …
