B: Terrorism / Let's Make a Den / Find the Fox / The Troubles

1986. 12" VS912-12 - Side A produced by Todd Rundgren, side B transfer engineer: Glen Tommey

1987. The four tracks that make up the B side of this record are demos of songs that were never recorded in the studio for various reasons. Producers preference, group preference, no time, lyrics not quite right, etc. Whatever, they were recorded at the respective writers homes on four track cassette machines and later, cleaned and 'tarted up a bit' at crescent studios, bath, for pressing to vinyl, We thought that you might be interested to hear them as normally, nobody outside of the group or record company would ever be exposed to these 'Rough Sketches'.

1985. WOW1 - Esce il 1° Aprile (Pesce d'Aprile?). Sul vinile, attorno alle etichette, appare per lato la scritta: "To be taken twice dali" e "I can see four moles".

Le regole del gioco erano semplici: tutte le canzoni dovevano sembrare qualcosa del 1967/68, con adeguate credenziali psichedeliche, e non erano permessi più di due tentativi di registrazione. In due settimane completarono sei canzoni e, con pezzetti di immagini senza copyright di Charles Atlas e della pubblicità della Gammidges, fotocopiate e incollate insieme sul suo tavolo in cucina, Andy creò un'appropriata copertina da viaggio in acido con influenze Disraeli Gears. (da Song Stories in italiano)

April 1 1985 (April fool's trick?). Around the vinyl's label, the writings appear for side: "To be taken twice dali" and "I can see four moles".
