Notes:
Mixtape 4 Side B - (Damian discussing lyrical themes - starts at 09.20):
We wrote it about soda pop and chips
General:
Whilst these are grouped together, they are actually three different records, each has a regionally specific edit of the title track and each has a unique 'B' side
(Cropped From) Announcement on LFG (July 22 2008):
Years of the Pig
In case you are confused:
In case you are confused:
US version: The aside is "Year of the Pig" edited by Eric Boucek, and a bside called "Mustaa Lunta" that G Beat wrote and recorded, and is very punk.
UK version: The Aside features an edit of YOTP by the prodigious Carlos Hernandez, and the bside features our cover of "Anorak City" by the great Another Sunny Day.
JAPANESE version: Features an edit of YOTP by Corona, anda bside called "For My Friends", which is a cover of the band Castlemusic, whose singer, you may recall, is the same Jennifer Castle, that does lead vocal on Year of the Pig.
COMPACT DISK version: Compiles not only all these 7" singles, but also the original 12" release, and its own bside ("The Black Hats"):
It is our belief that the bulk of each release will stay within its territory; it however, is also our belief that the effort must match the reward, in so much as the spoils are for the enterprising. It is unclear at the moment how many copies there are of each release. What is known is that 250 copies of the Japanese 7" currently reside in Barcelona, Spain.
Sleeve Notes:
The Three Little Pigs (From Wikipedia):
The Three Little Pigs is a fable featuring anthropomorphic pigs who build three houses of different materials. A big bad wolf is able to blow down the first two pigs' houses, made of straw and wood respectively, but is unable to destroy the third pig's house, made of bricks. Printed versions date back to the 1840s, but the story itself is thought to be much older. The phrases used in the story, and the various morals that can be drawn from it, have become embedded in Western culture.The three little pigs leave their mother and go off to build three little houses...They defeat the big bad wolf (a generic archetype of a menacing predatory antagonist) and live happily ever after...In real life, things don't always work out the same as the fairy tales. This photo shows men taking a rest from hauling the weight of three pig carcasses.
The Rhinemaidens & Alberich

| Illustration for Richard Wagner's ''The Ring'' by Arthur Rackham The illustration shows the three Rhinemaidens, the ring and the two dwarves, Mime and Alberich From Walkürepedia In the opening of the Ring Cycle, Alberich is mocked by the Rhinemaidens for his futile attempts to catch them. He steals the Rhine gold from the Rhinemaidens, and renounces love so he can craft from it a ring to rule a world. With the ring Alberich takes control of the Nibelungs and forces them to mine gold for him. He plans to eventually enslave the world with his army and force women to sate his lust |

| YOTP Test Pressings: Something odd about the one on the left - ''The Black Hats'' was the 'B' side to the 12"... |
