Album Info

Release Date: 1991-04

Label: rooArt

This was a limited edition of 500 on purple vinyl, with a printed PVC cover in either silver (400 copies, see 'Va Va Voom'), or a black PVC cover (100 copies, this one)... with artwork designed by guitarist/singer/principal songwriter: Simon Holmes....to complement the existing cover. With typical Holmesy humour he tagged the just-visible eyes of the band, as the four members of The Rutles: Stig, Barry, Nasty, and Dirk (see pix). He signed it off as Copyright 'bum art' ('bum' being one of his in-house nicknames at Phantom...known by few).
The signatures of the four band members: Simon, Alannah, Mark, and Robyn, are incorporated into the art in the bottom right-hand corner.
This pack was devised by Phantom Records (the Hummingbirds' previous label...and Sydney record shop where Simon worked), who also offered copies to friendly indie record stores in 4 other state capitals: Au Go Go (Melbourne), Dada (Perth), Seeing Ear (Adelaide), and Rocking Horse (Brisbane). This pack was sold at Phantom and those 4 stores only.

Total playing time: 50:16
