sombrero rode off into the sunset with a bunch of records that really should've been released

BOB - convenience

THE SIDDELEYS - you get what you deserve

RESERVE - me, you, and world war two

thankfully at least BOB went on to better things and 'convenience' came out on their own House Of  Teeth label to huge aclaim and a spot in 1989s festive fifty. THE SIDDELEYS got to record their tune for a john peel session, but it would've been a blinding single, wrapped in horns and david clynch's marvelous drums. i'm still convinced it would've led them to great things. the RESERVE track only made it to a pretty ropey demo but i hope you can hear the huge potential this number had.

 i wish this had been our starting point rather than the bitter end ...
