‘Hayfever’. 4-track CD single backed with ‘Say’, ‘Kangaroo Court’ and ‘Skin Diving’.

This German release, as you can see, came in a standard jewel case, rather than the digi-pak.

‘To Sir, With Love’. 4-track CD single backed with ‘Claw’, ‘A Boy And A Girl’ and ‘You Only Live Twice’.

Not one, but two cover versions on this release.

When you look back at the cover versions the Trashcans have done – they could probably release an album.

‘How Can I Apply…?’. 4-track CD single backed with ‘Save Me’, ‘A Worm With A Head’ and ‘Little Things That Keep Us Together’.

Scott Walker wrote ‘Little Things…’, and here the Trashcans give it a right good t(h)rashing. All excellent stuff.

‘The Main Attraction’ single. 4-track CD backed with ‘Stainless Stephen’, ‘Charlie’s Atlas’ and ‘Jane’s Estranged’.

The cover has the words “Engaged” instead of “Vacant”, which was on the 7-inch single cover, but you’ll know that, won’t you?

Japanese import of fourth album ‘Weightlifting’. This release included the bonus track ‘In Capitals’.

The usual Japanese attention to detail is here to see in the packaging, which comes with a lyric booklet and obi-strip.

On the second bottom photograph, you’ll see a small box with 04.9.29 printed. I think this refers to the release date in Japan, which was before the UK release in October.

The photography on this CD is excellent.
