3-track cassette EP with ‘Who’s He?’ and ‘The Best Man’s Fall’.
Although this was on the Go! Discs label, the cassette and the J-card are printed with Go! Records Ltd. Same label though.
J-card has the lyrics printed on the inside. I’m sure that’s Paul on the front cover. I’ve no idea what he is doing.

With the invention of CDs and now digital downloads – don’t cassettes look funny?
2-track release with ‘Useless’. Picture sleeve, but no lyrics. Cassette plays the same both sides.

A very rare sight – even to my eyes – is this 7-inch promo for debut single ‘Obscurity Knocks’.
I’m not sure how many of these were produced, but there can’t be too many. Simple white hand written labels housed in a black paper sleeve.
Many thanks to Phil for the images.

Rare limited edition 2-track 10-inch vinyl single. Includes ‘Hammertime’.
No expense spared on the packaging which is pretty cool. Full colour picture sleeve in a printed translucent grey PVC outer cover, which was designed by Emlyn Firth. Sleeve photography was by Martin Gray.
Autographed by John, Frank, Stephen and Paul.
2005 Picnic Records PIC EP 002
Long deleted classic 10-track debut album, which scaled the heights of the UK charts (No.74) in 1990. But then we all know the charts are pish. It was more successful in the States though, thanks mostly to exposure through the influential college radio circuit.
Produced by John Leckie, Roger Béchirian and the band, the album was described by UK music magazine Q as ‘…an album for smiling enigmatically and turning up overcoat collars to’.
Right, where’s ma coat?
