Five Hungry Joes – A pictorial archive of the Trashcan Sinatras. Legendary Scottish Band

For the 15th anniversary of its original release, 2004’s ‘Weightlifting’ was made available on vinyl for the first time!

Remastered on 180 gram vinyl, it included a full colour outer sleeve, a full colour insert with lyrics and a colour inner sleeve featuring liner notes written by British music journalist Pete Paphides…

“If life is a spectator sport, a Trashcan Sinatras album is the work of unassuming Olympians.”

It’s a wonderful package befitting such a wonderful album and really should be part of your record collection. Get your copy here.

Now all we need is a vinyl release of ‘In The Music’…?

Also, not one but two test pressings were produced. Test pressing one had too much hiss so another was cut, but to be honest there’s not an ocean of difference to these average ears.

Do we know why “Trouble Sleeping” on the LP is a different version from the original album? So engrained in my brain after all these years, I can’t wrap my head around it!

I can’t say with 100% certainty, but I’m sure I read somewhere the alternative version was used as the original master of the song was lost.
