Career Suicide...




...will be along shortly. The CS link in the discog list below is not live, but soon will be. In the meantime, if you like looking at pictures of music containers, (and who doesn't?) you can check out the Mercury Girls page.

Who?


Killed Anna?


Been looking out for the Lonely Wholesome "Who Killed Anna?" lathe-cut for a while. According to rumour 50 records were cut, but most didn't get to the folk that had ordered them because the guy who ran the label (Scotch Tapes) had some kind of nasty boat accident.

Recently I heard about someone who'd found one in a second-hand shop in Canada, so I contacted him to ask for some pics as I'd never seen one... After that one also appeared on Discogs, so maybe the pressing (or cutting) is in circulation?

Anyway, it's a REALLY nicely put together thing,  but I have no idea what the artwork is about. (I'm not into conspiracy theories and don't want to get killed / have an accident).

The Asylum is a four-walled house turned inside out.
