is a beautiful thing. Look at it's complicated mass of small and large case letters - study the numbers closely; it looks a little like the Liverpool skyline doesn't it? Maybe it doesn't... anyhoo -

THE ALBUM IS ARRIVED AND RELEASED

YOU CAN BUY IT FROM US

It's a promo version, limited to 500 copies, which precedes a big release in November, but while the big release copies will be ten-a-penny (or rather, one for 800 penny's) this version is going to be VERY LIMITED EDITION... artwork by Elley Suggett and Jon Owen, you know them as the Ike and Tina of the S.C.C.C.'s art universe (which is why we keep them apart)... produced by Super-Producer Simon 'Barny' Barnicott, with help from Timo and Simon and Enrico... it's been such a long journey to reach this place we've arrived at, but finally the albatross has been sculpted into a fine ornament... go, buy, listen, enjoy; cry if you must, we've shed tears of pain and glory... I can hear the church bells, it's a wedding, and it's open to all...
