14 cuts from their first recording studio sessions of Sept 2-4 1994. Originally the band recorded 23 songs but in October 1994 Ben fired the drummer and decided to re-mix everything.Dec 1994: Ben erases the drum track and re-drums it himself. Ben decides to jettison most of the songs and suggests 10 cuts for the debut so we decide on a 10" (See: Crypt-060 10" - Country Teasers "Pastoral / S/T", also reissued.)And here they are at last: the 13 tracks cut at Toe Rag that didnt make it onto the Pastoral 10", PLUS the original version of "Black Cloud Wandering".In a sumptuous gatefold containing ancient pre-interWeb communication forms (letters, faxes, etc).It would have made a damned great debut album in 1994.It IS a damned great album in 2019 (and forever!)
