Featuring 15 acoustic tracks, this CD of radio session performances was recorded during the 2004-2005 ‘Weightlifting’ world tours.
The CD comes in a simple cardboard sleeve and includes at least one song from each of the band’s 5 studio albums, including two tracks from their recent long player ‘In The Music’.
It originally included two more songs from ‘Cake’, but these were omitted from the final cut. Booooo!

Here is what they call a ‘sample CD’ – it’s not a promo or anything. It is an original CD, the same as regular retail store product, the only difference being the sample factory labels.
These ‘samples’ are from a factory used for CD manufacturing, and have at least one large sticker directly on the artwork containing various production data which usually includes hand-writing.
Occasionally there may be other stickers or markings on other parts of the artwork, such as a descriptive label, like the one shown here.
A rare and unusual item – but interesting nonetheless.

…when this arrived in the post this morning.
A 20-track promo CD with a variety of top bands including The La’s, Pixies, The House Of Love, De La Soul and our very own Trashcan Sinatras – showcased here with ‘The Best Man’s Fall’.
The Edge is one of the most powerful and influential rock radio stations. Based in Toronto, Canada, 102.1 FM it is the third most listened-to new rock station and at one point hooked up with HMV to release sampler CDs of the best new music around.
Big thanks to Douglas in Canada for sending this over.

This 19-track compilation was released as a free CD by HMV in Canada and included artists such as New Order, Frank Black, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and The Trashcans – represented here with ‘Bloodrush’.
TCS appeared on two similar compilations early in 1991 with ‘The Best Man’s Fall’ and ‘Circling The Circumference’ – the latter released on cassette (remember those?)

POPnews is a popular French based webzine that sporadically releases CD compilations which include some truly fantastic tracks.
POPvolume#2 is no exception, with the wonderful Astrid, Lambchop, Orwell and the Trashcans included. John Douglas used to go busking and the track, ‘In Capitals’, which features on this CD, was written about those days.
On the POPnews website the following accompanies the CD review…
“Kilmarnock must be a very very remote city so that the news of Trash Can Sinatras arrives to us also sporadically. It must also be a splendid city if the songs reflect their geographical origins. After 3 albums received by enthusiastic critical greeting but timid public reactions the TCS have returned (finally! shout the despaired fan) and give us (in exclusivity) the fruit in their long studio work. Misty like the plains of Scotland the melody escapes slowly from a crystal guitar. It feels great to hear them again”.
Very deep Monsieur.
