Album Info

Release Date: 2022

Label: Optic Nerve Recordings

Limited to 50 copies on black vinyl at the request of the band with postcard.
Otherwise identical to the white vinyl release (minus poster)

Both recordings previously unreleased. Back Between Places is an alternate mix, and Violin is an earlier recording of the song later released on Vibrato and Hotrod Hotel.

Originally scheduled for release as part of Optic Sevens 3.0 series in 2021, this single was delayed by a combination of COVID-19 lockdowns, discovery of assumed lost master tapes, and supply chain issues.

From Optic Nerve Website:
Originally released on the Sub Aqua label in 1988. It appears here on 7" for the first time. This is a previously unreleased version of Back Between Places. The band were never really happy with the original single release and having discovered the master tape of a superior version, it is to be mixed and released here for the very first time.

From East Village:
Both tracks were recorded at Greenhouse Studios at the same one day session in August 88 and are technically unreleased. "Back Between Places" is an alternate mix made at the time and better than the one we chose to release.
"Violin" is a completely unreleased recording. It was planned as the original B-side but ended up being replaced by two early recordings, "Her Father's Son" and "Precious Diamond Tears" on the actual 12" release.

We re-recorded "Violin" a few months later at Scruttocks along with "Freeze Out", "Vibrato" and a couple of others that have appeared on the "Hotrod Hotel" LP.
