A one-track promo CD was distributed to the radio and press in the UK. This might be as close as you’ll come to seeing it, as it was limited to approximately 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. More info here

14-track cassette with full colour picture sleeve complete with original picture/lyrics fold-out.

The cassette states ‘Made in Netherlands’, which could be an import.

A favourite Trashcans album.

UK release of the second album. Bought in 1993 for a recession-friendly price of £6.99, which is quite ironic given the state of the current economy.

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?
