6-track promo sampler for ‘I’ve Seen Everything’ album. Tracks include ‘Hayfever, I’ve Seen Everything, The Hairy Years, Send For Henny, Bloodrush and Easy Read’.
The words on the back of the custom card picture sleeve are anagrams, with the lighter coloured letters spelling out The Trashcan Sinatras – clever eh?

4-track promo for ‘Hayfever’. This was released in the same digi-pak as the regular CD, which is itself, identical.
There seems to be a couple of these going around. No idea who wrote the words on the second sticker, but I’m thinking of accepting their invitation into claustrophobia.

‘Wild Mountainside’ 3-track EP with promo stickered sleeve. Seems to be just the regular release with no indications of being a promo CD.
‘Freetime’ and ‘What Women Do To Men’ are both live tracks, recorded at the Howden Park Centre, Livingston in 2005.
The front cover photograph – the location I’m unsure about – was by Martin Gray. View more of his work here.
The US version released on BoBame is much the same…

1-track CD promo distributed to radio and press to promote the UK release of the album ‘Weightlifting’.
Card inlay housed in a stickered jewel case. The sticker – note the spelling mistake – has a release date of 8th November, whilst the inlay card has the correct date of 18th October.

A song originally written by Randy Newman and recorded in 1967 by Harpers Bizarre, this song grew out of some Shabby Road sessions with Sokabe from Japanese band Sunny Day Service
This is the initial 4-track digi-pak pressing which had a limited release.
I think the packaging – designed by kato masako – is wonderful on this release and is typical of Japanese attention to detail.
Some copies, like this one, came with a promo sticker instead of the normal obi-strip. Very nice.
