December 23, 2008 - Tuesday 

We've braved the world of record company legal reps and pestered the most suit-clad upper echelons of columbia records/sonyatv to get license to include our mythical 13th track., a spectre-fied version of 'Masters of War' by Bob Dylan.

So after months of email discussions and one-sided reminders we all finally decided, against our wishes, to leave the track out of our long delayed album and just get it cut. It hurt bad. We wept.

Naturally, on the very day that we complete the album design and final running order, the permission comes through. Problems still remained, as a quick call to MCPS informed that to include that one track will make up 1/3 of total expenses for the entire album. Fuck that. Goodbye track!

On a brighter note, we now have unlimited permission to include it in future releases and will be setting aside any proceeds from this first lovely album to pay Bob.

So....

Its on the way, we are expecting to receive our first run of CDs within a few weeks. Oh yes. We will be asking a mere fiver for 12 tracks from the pits of our cockles. Its been created from hard work and friendship rather than monitary backing and disconnected management. Removing the cover version has only strengthened our pride that this is all the work of just four mates.

All we want now is for you to have one.
