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.

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.
