This cassette from Turkey is quite different from the regular UK release, as you’d expect, but the inner J-card is much the same.
Delightful.

My thoughts exactly.
A not so favourable review of single “I’ve Seen Everything’, which appeared in the NME.
The reviewer, Ian McCann, was apparently hunted down and dealt with accordingly.

So sang Rachel Sweet in 1978.
But there was no singing from the Trashcans when they were booked to play the London Marquee’s ‘Band Explosion’ in 1990.
Sponsored by the NME and also Nescafé/Nestle – purveyors of fine chocolates and the like – the band, well basically pulled out of the event in protest against the chocolateers, but I’ll let you read the story for yourself.
Here’s what was reported in the NME at the time…
September 1990 NME Magazine
Here’s an advert from the NME to promote third single ‘Circling The Circumference’.
The image of George McDaid was taken on the isle of Arran and was from the outtakes of the video for ‘Only Tongue Can Tell’.
George, however, decided that being in a band was never his destiny, and parted company after ‘Cake’ to become a school teacher – but you knew that didn’t you.
