Various - Supercharger & The Mummies - Demolition Derby 7 - DERBI 001.

The second time these two teamed up to fight evil. This time with two tracks recorded live on the tour detailed on the sleeve of yesterday's flexi-disc. Unlike yesterday's release, The Mummies track, What Can I Do?, was never reissued. According to many accounts both The Mummies and Supercharger were unhappy when Demolition Derby boss, Kris Verreth, kept repressing the disc, having exceeded what was apparently meant to be an initial limited run of 500. It's far from great - The Supercharger track is particularly forgettable, but it's better than most. Happy Mad Mummies March. More soon. Enjoy.

The Mummies & Supercharger - Tour '93 - Pin Up Records flexidisc 93006.

A nice little Mad Mummies March rarity here. As the bag above testifies, this was sold only on the joint Mummies Supercharger European tour in 1993. I'm not sure when The Mummies tracks were recorded, but they are both excellent quality. Band original, I'm Gonna Kill My Baby Tonight, is backed up with I Should Better Be Looking For Dangerman, originally recorded in Germany by The Pack. You'll be seeing them again when I upload Runnin' On Empty Volume Two. The Supercharger tracks are no slouch, either. Enjoy.

Man... Or Astro-Man? vs. Europa. Homo Habilis 7". HH706

For a band with strong attention to detail and an eye for the gimmick I was always surprised that this was the only time Man... Or Astro-Man? produced a single for tour release. Disappointingly for me I got the postcard informing me of their imminent arrival after they had been and gone. I ended up buying my copy from Estrus mail order. I note the dates of the tour and wonder exactly where they spent Christmas 1993. I hope they were looked after. Enjoy.

Jesus, where did the time go? I never meant to be away for nearly a month, but real life got in the way. Not in the way of transcribing vinyl, more in the way of sitting down and writing and uploading. It's been a busy time and, frankly, I've not been arsed enough to do stuff. Not now, though. I return, embiggened and there's a lot to share. The next four posts are themed - European Tour singles 'only' available from merchandise stalls during Our Favourite Bands' tours of Yoop. Tonight, it's the turn of The Phantom Surfers and The Astronauts. The former from the United States, the latter from Germany, but they got to play two dates in England so that meant some kind of getting over here vibe for them. Coming up next, in no particular order, The Untamed Youth's Special European Tour 45 1996, Man Or Astroman? vs Europa and The Mummies & Supercharger Tour '93 flexi-disc (from flexi-disc). Enjoy.
