Follow-up single to ‘Obscurity Knocks’. This is the 7-inch UK version and I’ve also included the Australian and German imports.
The printing on the imports is slightly different in that the text is more pink than red – see bottom pictures.
Below is the Australian version, released on the London Go! Discs label.
And below is the German version, released on Go! Discs.

‘Senses Working Overtime’ is one of the many Trashcan cover versions.
Originally recorded by XTC, this 12-inch vinyl was given out to fans – a Christmas present perhaps – at a concert in 1992.
These were extremely limited with just under 1,000 copies pressed – here’s No.77.

The original working title for the album ‘Cake’ was ‘Spoofs’.
Here’s a white label test pressing copy of it. One side has the handwritten label with the other blank. The same inscribed legends ‘The Exchange Ray’s’ and ‘When is adore not adore?’ appear on either side.
If you take a look at the official Trashcans discography you’ll see a cassette version of ‘Spoofs’ was also produced.

Not an official release. This is a later version of double CD ‘On A B Road’.
There are 42 tracks on this release, as opposed to 46 on the earlier 2001 version. I have no idea why. Most of the tracks are pretty much the same. The booklet has a brief description and history of each of the songs.
The paintings on the front and back cover are by John Douglas.
Nice!
Quick update: This version was a revision of the 46 track release with a couple of low quality live songs removed at the band’s request. Some live songs were also replaced with the original recorded versions. ‘Leave Me Alone’ was excluded as this was being re-recorded for the ‘Weightlifting’ album.
Although the BoBame releases are ‘unofficial’, the band were involved in all of them, from track listings to liner notes to artwork.

Not an official release. ‘On A B Road’ is a limited CD of b-sides and cover songs which was available from I think, the end of 2000 or around the beginning of 2001.
The double CD includes most of the songs that appeared on the single version of ‘On A B Road’, ‘On A B Road…Again’ and the ‘Aberrations’ compilations. Some of the original songs have been replaced with better or different versions from various sources.
The picture on the left at the very bottom of this post, is a still from the film ‘Spooktime’.
The CDs were titled ‘Heaven Av’ and Irvine St’ which are taken from the ‘Useless’ lyric ‘Some are born in heaven/Some are born in Irvine’.
Lucky old me was born in Irvine.
