This compilation was put together with
Dead Elvis when a big music business seminar came to town. It features all the bands that blunt and Dead Elvis worked with and a few other like minded bands also. The only thing I remember about it was a few gigs on a boat moored outside The Funnel where I met the A&R man who signed Pet Lamb and Wormhole to Roadrunner Records. He had moved on to greener pastures by then. The cover was done by
Niall McCormack.
I like to believe U2 got the name for their song "Zip Up Your Boots" when Eno played them a copy of this one day in Marrakesh in an attempt to inspire them.

By this time Paul had left Ireland to seek his fortune on foreign shores effectively leaving Dan and Andy to run blunt. This release was the first of many collaborations with Dave at Independent records. The tracks on this record and the next one were licensed from Independent where they were originally released on a cd called "Nobody's Working Title".

Finally we released a regular black vinyl 7 inch. However it's got 4 tracks on and plays at 33.
Joyrider were from Portadown and not part of the Dublin scene as such, but they were mates of Andy's so that's how we ended up working with them.
