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.

…Or was it?

The promo for ‘I’ve Seen Everything’ single came in exactly the same digi-pak design as the actual release. The promo is 1-track only, with the official single backed with three other tracks.

If you ever come across this single, take a look inside and you may just find yourself a wee rarity.

Released in the UK only as a 1-track radio promo, ‘All The Dark Horses’ was surprisingly the only single from fourth album ‘Weightlifting’.

Photographs by Martin Gray. Sleeve design by Emlyn Firth.

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.
