…when ‘Weightlifting’ was released, and I obtained as many copies as I could – as you would with such a fine album.

Here we have the UK and US versions (deluxe and Japanese versions previously posted). Same songs of course, slightly different packaging – but then I like that sort of thing.

Both released in jewel case format the CD is identical, but the real difference is in the lyric booklet, where the background images have been transposed onto different pages – clever eh?

Promo release from spinART of the ‘Weightlifting’ album. There are no labels, inserts or covers on this one – just the plain old CD.

There was another promo of this with a cover which you can see here – but I’ve no idea if this is the same, less the packaging.

Another strange one.

Japanese import of fourth album ‘Weightlifting’. This release included the bonus track ‘In Capitals’.

The usual Japanese attention to detail is here to see in the packaging, which comes with a lyric booklet and obi-strip.

On the second bottom photograph, you’ll see a small box with 04.9.29 printed. I think this refers to the release date in Japan, which was before the UK release in October.

The photography on this CD is excellent.

Released in the UK only as a 1-track radio promo, ‘All The Dark Horses’ was surprisingly the only single from fourth album ‘Weightlifting’.

Photographs by Martin Gray. Sleeve design by Emlyn Firth.
