about

Recorded some time in the early 90s, this is the long-lost fourth Bikeshed album. It's a double and only avoided being 40 songs due to the master tape not being long enough. Listening now, 30+ years later, it's quite obvious I'd decided to record all the songs I'd written when I'd broken up with Joanne Smith a few years earlier. There are some really nice songs on here and some maudlin piles of self-pitying shit. There's also some hamfisted piano playing.

Sorry about a couple of moments of audio glitching, the tape has suffered a bit over the years.
