Anyway, I'll probably end up picking them up, for the handful of songs not on the Where'd You Learn To Kiss That Way retrospective released by Shinkansen some years back (now also out-of-print), and also for the liner notes which they are said to have.
What Rough Trade stuff do you mean? AFAIK, they were only ever signed to Sarah Records.
Ooops, Sarah Records, yes, but they came to Germany via Rough Trade Records (which I dcan't expect anybody to know. My bad.) The Rough trade sticker was physically huge on the vinyl sleeves, that's why i have this mnenonic confusion.
Fantastic! Only know their Rough Trade stuff. Another band I discovered recently is Galaxie 500, who sound quite like Field Mice, St Christopher, etc.
