After a year and a bit dazzling audiences with their intensely mesmeric live shows the recordings start to appear, and in 1991 we see the ‘Love Sick Pleasure’ single which included ‘Love Your Money’. A notable rarity would be the inclusion of their ‘Upmanship Down’ on the first of the brilliant CD/book compilation “Volume” series (the cover of each issue featuring a different tropical fish), which also included an interview by me. (A live version of ‘I Feel Insane’ was included on “Volume 3”.)
