Overjoyed to be reunited with these recordings. I remember this was declared Single of the Week in one of the UK inkies (despite being an ‘album’) and my taking a trip to Rhythm Records, Camden Lock, to buy it. Still sounds so fresh and brilliantly odd. You never know what to expect from one track to the next, then it’s abruptly all over. Also terrific to hear an extended play of side 1’s run-out groove.

Bought this after getting to know the first four tracks but then, upon receipt of it, I immediately fell in love with Pink Snow. What an incredible collaboration. I hope Tranmer and Masters work together again soon! Alasdair Dickson
