I >always hoped not..... That's the same question I asked a friend of mine a few years ago, the answer was no, which is what you'd like to believe, so I'm going with that.

Early Pooh Sticks, the preferable "live" versions of both tunes can be found on the marvellous _Orgasm_ LP (UK/53rd & 3rd Records AGAMC 05/'89) or the _Multiple Orgasm_ CD (UK/Fierce Fright 47 CD/'91) ... besides, the CD features the songs from the cancelled _Multiple Orgasm_ 7" boxed set recorded at the same time and unavailable elsewhere. Other recommended purchases are the _Formula One Generation_ LP/CD and _The Great White Wonder_ LP/CD.

"I know someone who knows someone who knows Alan McGee quite well" and "On Tape" are from a box set of singles released in june 1988 on Fierce Records. It was released as a one sided album (with some very nice engravings on the B-side!) in august the same year. Apparently the female members of the band had a huge fascination for Stephen Pastel: on the cover of the album it says "Dear Stephen Pastel, will you have sex with me?". And yes, they were quite good... Stein >-brad > > > > > >----------------------------------------------------------------------- >. This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. >.

Sinister: Apology

Sorry everybody for sending the wrong thing to the wrong address. It's my new Belle and Sebastian working method, the living embodiment of the Fuck Shit Up philosophy. What's more, I lose my brownie points for sending it off early. Oh well, hay que joderse. i think this B&S list is becoming too much of a habit for me. Hang my head in shame and dress as a penitent all day. Sorry again, Peter, Our lady of the Strange Behaviour ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Out of curiousity, does anyone else think that "La Pastie De La Bourgeoisie" sounds a wee bit like "(Theme From) The Monkees"??? Maybe I am insane, or maybe it's these drugs I'm on (for medical reasons, thank you). Jaysen. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
