From the outside it looks like the regular 7-inch release doesn’t it?

But you’d be wrong.

Slide out the vinyl and you discover that the B-side label is also the A-side label.

I’m not sure if the A-side does in fact play ‘Only Tongue Can Tell’ – the old Dansette disnae work anymore – but I’m sure it does.

A nice wee discovery.

Here’s a promo of ‘In The Music’ issued to various press and radio stations by Manilla PR, who have a host of artists on their roster – most of which I’ve never heard of.

This promo doesn’t have a cover or any promo labels  – just the plain old CD I’m afraid.

Steady on Pete.

Melody Maker’s Pete Paphides reviews the single ‘I’ve Seen Everything’ but doesn’t particularly care much for ‘Houseproud’ and ‘I’m The One Who Fainted’.

At least he didn’t completely ignore it.

Press cuttings from ‘Melody Maker’ and ‘NME’ magazines promoting the imminent release of single ‘I’ve Seen Everything’.

You may be able to see the anagrams which appeared on the ISE LP promo on the outside of the advert.

I like it.
