Here’s the 4-track 12-inch version of debut single ‘Obscurity Knocks’ – a title which perhaps became a self-fulfilling prophecy for TCS.
The inner ring of the A-side is inscribed with the legend ‘Youthenasia’, and the title track is backed with ‘The Best Man’s Fall’, ‘Drunken Chorus’ and ‘Who’s He?’.

12-inch promo for ‘Hayfever’ housed in a simple black sleeve.
The inner ring of the A-side is inscribed with the the legend ‘Crazy Paving’, whilst the B-side has ‘Psycho Path’.
I’ve no idea if these inscriptions are the work of the band or if it’s the label. I’m sure they mean something to someone.
Some copies, like this one, included a promo pack with band photograph and some written notes on ‘the weird and wonderful world of The Trash Can Sinatras’…

Canadian release of ‘I’ve Seen Everything’. Unfortunately this is not the original casing, I stood on that – oops!
Not to worry though, the cassette plays like new.

spinART Records – one time American home to the TCS – released this vinyl only promo in 2005 which included all-exclusive material from the label’s roster.
Only 600 of these were made available to retail and it included such artists as Frank Black (The Pixies), Apollo Sunshine, The Dears and of course, the Trashcans. There are 10 tracks on this release, but the lack of information on these is disappointing, to say the least.
Here the live version of ‘Hayfever’ from Le Bataclan in Paris, France 1996 is included. This originally featured on the ‘Weightlifting E.P.’ (BoBame 005)
If you’re into collecting rarities, then this may be on your list. Copies do spring up from time-to-time, but if you want the live track, I’d recommend the ‘Weightlifting E.P.’
Note the spelling error on the label – ‘Heyfever’ – shocking!
