    By way of apology to those who prefer compact discs, we have a few dozen of the CDR promotional edition available. While not quite up to Radio Khartoum's usual CD packaging standards (jewel case alert!), it does include an illustrated 16-page booklet with lyrics, song notes by Matt Jones and a sleeve note by Frank Discussions. In fact, it includes several illustrations that the vinyl doesn't, including that damned, obligatory cat and catalogue thing that has dogged our last four Bügelfrei-designed releases.

about

In 'The Postman Always Rings Twice', Frank Chambers tries to persuade waitress Cora Smith to quit her husband’s diner and hit the road. Chancing upon the diner after a 3-week drinking jag in Tijua- na, Frank thinks Cora can be a hobo just like him, not realising the word ‘tramp’ has bad connotations for a waitress. If you spent your life watching films and television and listening to music (chances are you did) then you, like me, are made of trash; of ‘Gordon Jackson’s wispy hair’ and bubble-permed ‘Keith Barron on a makeshift raft’. The sooner you face the fact you are made of crap, the sooner you’ll stop worrying about it and the sooner we can hit the road for Tijuana to tank up on tequila.

lyrics

Rainwater in an oil drum
The traces of what was yet to come
Gordon’s Jackson’s wispy hair
Getting blown out of the Xpelair

A combat jacket and a walkie-talkie
Ageing popstars getting porky
It’s the moment that we’ve all been dreading
In a former football player’s pub just outside Reading

We are everywhere, although
We didn’t make much of a splash
We are lodging in your spare
Getting thrown out with the trash

I swear I could discern
The makings of a future bubble perm
Keith Barron on a makeshift raft
A fine example of the actor’s craft

These fragments of pop history
Are actually pieces of you and me
It’s the moment that we’ve all been dreading
In a former football player’s pub just outside Reading

With the trash
