Never released as a CD although Virgin announced in 1991 a CDV 2012…

Very good and underrated. This is a hard one to find. John Falstaff has only ever seen two copies of it; so did I and I waited 25 years to get my own copy!…

*The LPs with the lyrics insert are even rarer!

*Poor Swine was the first song recorded for the album, when the early band (Smith, Dodd, Slade, Cousins) was working on the basic tracks. Also recorded at the same time was Let's Have a Party - later issued as a single and a LP - a fake live recording. Unreleased tracks from the same session include Another Man Goe Down and a coupe of others (Thanks Tim Penn for the info).
