A soundtrack EP to ‘Spooktime’ – a fifteen minute short film inspired by characters who appear on the album ‘A Happy Pocket’.
‘Spooktime’ was written and conceived by Scottish director, John McFarlane, along with Paolo Hewitt (Oasis and Paul Weller biographer) and Tony Crean (Go! Discs’ Head of Marketing). The songs on the CD provide a musical backdrop to the film which is crammed full of drugs, violence, sex and murder.
The film also played at the Cannes Film Festival in France.

4-track debut EP in picture card sleeve with lyrics.
The CD has degraded a bit through time – probably a reaction to the card – but it still plays and sounds as good as new.

‘Midnight at the Troubadour’ was filmed during three sold-out shows in 2004 at the Troubadour in Hollywood, California. Quite an achievement for the Trashcans at the time, as many people thought the band were extinct.
The booklet that accompanies this DVD gives a brief synopsis of the band’s history and explains at length how the Troubadour concerts materialised – 11 years or so after their last gigs in California.
Welcome back indeed!

6-track promo sampler for ‘I’ve Seen Everything’ album. Tracks include ‘Hayfever, I’ve Seen Everything, The Hairy Years, Send For Henny, Bloodrush and Easy Read’.
The words on the back of the custom card picture sleeve are anagrams, with the lighter coloured letters spelling out The Trashcan Sinatras – clever eh?
