Hey,
Don't know if anyone is interested but for what it's worth, you can find full downloads for "Casual sex in the cineplex" and "teenage drug" plus a load of singles and Bsides at http://ping.fishtank.org.uk/mp3/
from what I can remember, "Casual sex in the Cineplex" was released in 1989 but it still makes me smile. "you talk too much " and "where's me jumper?" are worth downloading for a flavour if you aren't sure about grabbing the whole lot.

Last time I saw these (years ago) they stated bluntly as they came on that they wouldn't do "Where's Me Jumper?" and threatened to walk off stage when someone shouted for it. Hopefully they will have calmed down slightly now.

No idea what they're like now, but first time round they went very quickly from a fairly amusing band with some quirky songs to a fairly dull band with a vastly inflated opinion of themselves.

i love these....although partially on account of where's me jumper
cos it was released a week after i got banned from "atmospheres" nighclub in birkenhead after having a fight with the DJ cos he'd stolen my jumper
(obvioulsy, i'd wandered around pissed saying"where's me jumper" for an hour beforehand, as you would expect)

saw them at a few festivals years ago & they always put on a top show, excellent find
