Hard to find 1-track promo for ‘Bloodrush’.

Taken from second album ‘I’ve Seen Everything’, this was supposed to be the single that completed the anchor design from the ISE releases, but only ever saw the light of day in America.

Demos And Debris

This double CD is a collection of demos and sessions of released and some unreleased songs, recorded between 1986 and 1997.

The songs were taken from various sources with varying degrees of quality. They were then compiled by the band and there’s a brief history of each in the liner notes.

There were three different pressings of this release. The initial pressing (this one) had some tracking errors, whilst later reissues resolved these errors. Get the full story here.

I like the signed Frank Sinatra photograph on this one.

On A B Road…Again

22-track CD-R which was released exclusively to members of the TCS mailing list.

This was made available around the summer of 1998 and was a follow-up release to the single ‘On A B Road’ compilation from 1996. The original B-Road compilation had 21 tracks and the packaging was nearly identical.

Only 21 of the tracks are listed on the insert, the omitted track being ‘Aberration’.

Although this is a CD-R, it was made with the permission of Go! Discs, who quite kindly ‘looked the other way’.
