Note: Grist0007 is a 4-track 7″ single by my brother’s old punk band Moustash, which has been mastered and taken to test pressing stage, but awaits artwork and Bobby generally pulling his finger out.

Some appearances on compilations that I can’t give full details of:
The Projector Records comp “We Are Stupid” vinyl LP features an edited version of “New Leaves” from The New Album.
The Fruit Machine CD comp organised by Joe Murphy of London-based promoters Blang! features “A Last Blast” & “When Yr 10″ from Giraffe.
A CD promoting the London venue The Spitz features a live version of “Africa Is A Fridge”
A CD given away with the Dutch magazine Kanaal features some Um tracks including “The Guru Let Me Down“.
A free CD with the fanzine Robots & Electronic Brains has some Um tracks on it “My Private Ridicule“, maybe?

There’s a few more things floating about in small numbers too…

As of about now (December 2012) I’ve decided to try and concentrate on making vinyl records primarily, with maybe a few other oddities in other formats interspersed if I can get it together. Please check the Bandcamp page for availability or feel free to haggle with me direct or whatever. I still have a few Bumskippers on CD-R & might be pushed to make more if there’s a specific title you are after, but in the long-term I’m trying to reissue everything on vinyl, however unrealistic that is.
