The Double 'B'-Side

I've been after a copy of this particular 7" for well over a decade. Now the long search is finally over and perhaps thanks to a listing typo, it wasn't expensive either. So enjoy with me won't you, the depressive synth-pop stylings of Marvin the Paraniod (sic) Android, as he performs the Big-Bang Burger Chef jukebox favourite "Reasons To be Miserable" and the haunting "Marvin I Love You". You can find Marvin's first single over here.

Space Invaded

A sort of sister lp to BBC Records and Tapes' Space Themes, sharing a couple of tracks and  more sleeve notes from Mat Irvine. This album features one of the all time greatest sig tunes of all time - Tomorrow's World by Richard Denton and Martin Cook. Plenty of other good stuff too.

mmmm... brain planet

"Here, you'll need to put this fish in your ear."

The 1979 Original Records adaptation of fits 1-4 featuring new music due to copyright reasons and other edits. Music on the LP is by Tim Souster and The Radiophonic Workshop's Paddy Kingsland, who composed/performed such lovely noises for the second Hitchhiker radio series. The sleeve art was by Hypgnosis, though if you ask me, it's far from their best work. For further details please consult this prototype hitchhiker's guide that some Pogrils have kindly put together in their free time. It does get better if you put a fish in your ear.
