  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Deluxe release on 140gm vinyl in a new and specially designed gatefold sleeve by Jeff Ellis.

    • Gatefold sleeve
    • Full-colour inner sleeve
    • Featuring original art print and complete set of lyrics
    • Individually numbered limited edition of 500
    • All new and unpublished contemporaneous photos
    • Remastered and repackaged in 2022 by Jeff Ellis
    • First record on WY Records (WYLP01)

    Remastered in October 2022, this will be the first time it’s been available on vinyl since 1981. We've decided there would be no ‘bonus’ material or remixing involved for this vinyl release, not only to bring you the best audio quality possible (the more tracks you have, the quieter and less distinctive the audio becomes), but to also preserve the authenticity and integrity of the original recordings.

    The new pressing is simply clearer, brighter and punchier than the original vinyl, and we're sure you'll notice the difference. There has been one change; we made a millisecond edit on ‘I Wish I Was A Girl’ to remove a misplaced drum beat that has irritated me ever since I first noticed it way back when.

    This release is strictly limited to 500 individually numbered copies and comes in a gatefold sleeve with a full-colour inner sleeve, featuring lyrics and full-colour unique artwork. Also featured are new sleeve notes and some contemporaneous unpublished photos by Virginia Turbett and Jeff Ellis, both closely associated with the band for over forty years ago.

    The catalogue number is WYLP01, and will be our first release on WY Records. The whole package will be shrink wrapped for good measure.

lyrics

GAMES

How old are you she asks and smiles
Laughing at her own bad taste
You promise me things which don’t materialise
It’s not your time to waste
She tells me off and then undresses me
What am I supposed to do
She calls me pale and sexless
And then undresses too
Oh, but it’s the same old game
Oh, but I did not catch your name
We’re standing in the corner
With our backs against the wall
She pulls the mirror nearer
I can feel myself inside her
She’s kissing me, caressing me
And then I kissed her ageing face
She whispered things about being in love
But it wasn’t the time or place
Oh, but it’s the same old game
Oh, I did not catch your name
We lay in bed and smoked cigarettes
And then we talked about the past
She bragged about always pulling young men
I wouldn’t be the last
She was kinda sad (but I was pretty glad)
I said I had to go
She asked for my number so I wrote it down
And then I drifted home
Oh, but it’s the same old game
Oh, I did not catch your name
