Album notes

Discogs page for these notes (opens in a new tab)

Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.

"Expecting To Fly" was recorded at Ridge Farm Studios in the glorious summer of '95 (except for "Talking To Clarry" which was done in the grim autumn that followed)/ The beds were soft, the food was tasty and the home-made industrial strength, purple cider gave us some headaches we won't wanna forget. 'Nuff said.
