Promo copy of debut single ‘I Wish You’d Met Her’, taken from the Trashcans’ 5th studio album ‘In The Music’
I think I like her.
Some copies – like this one – came with a promo letter from Manilla PR, which gives an insight into the band and how the new songs and album came about…

…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?

This one has puzzled me for years.
Although bought in the UK on the day of release, my copy of third album ‘A Happy Pocket’ comes from Germany. This may well have been the norm for labels to manufacturer their CDs overseas (cheap labour) as I have other CDs, Cassettes etc which are made in Europe, but I would have thought a UK release would be made in the UK – or am I being stupid.
The official TCS discography has a separate listing for the UK version – so it does exist. Does it? Surely?
I think I need to lie down.
Update: I finally came across the UK version. A Happy Pocket = An Empty Pocket.
I never liked the design on the CD – could never read the writing – but it’s still my favourite album
Some copies – like this one – had promo information included, although it’s not a promo CD.

Here are the US and European versions of second album ‘I’ve Seen Everything’.
Different from the UK version – which was released as a digipak – these were both released in a standard jewel case. The insert is pretty much the same, but the big difference, as you can see, is the CD itself.
Little known fact: The working title for ISE was ‘Spooktime’ and was then supposed to be called ‘Milk The Dwindling Hours’ after a lyric from ‘Claw’ but it was decided to exclude this song from the final pressing, and was eventually re-christened ISE.
European CD, this one from Germany.
US CD, notably different
