This rare CD, limited to approximately 4,000 copies, includes the Trashcans performing an acoustic version of ‘The Safecracker’. An updated version appears on A Happy Pocket.
The Adventure Club was a Sunday night session hosted by Alex Luke on the Dallas-Fort Worth radio station The Edge 94.5. Some sessions were recorded live on air on the night the bands played in the studio; others were recorded at the Edge studios.
All proceeds from the sale of these CDs went to charity. The artists included XTC, Frank Black, Lemonheads, James, and Blur, amongst others.

A one-track promo CD was distributed to UK radio and press. This may be as close as you’ll get to hearing it, as it was limited to about 50 copies.
Released as a digital download only. The song was inspired by the late Syd Barrett, a founding member of Pink Floyd.
The single was released with a charity festival in Syd’s honour in Cambridge and London in October 2008.

UK release of the second album. Bought in 1993 for a recession-friendly price of £6.99.
14-track album, housed in a glossy picture sleeve complete with the original envelope-style inner glossy sleeve.
The inner ring of the A-side is inscribed with the legend “Hail Mary, Mungo and Midge,” which I can only assume refers to the BBC animated television series from 1969.
A favourite of the schoolboy Trashcans, perhaps?
