Anyway - Perverted By Language, which never made it onto an LP - entirely forgettable. If we needed a reminder how bad those Receiver comps are then Fiend With A Violin reminds us - no idea if this is the right time frame for this one.
And moving into Wonderful territory - a live version of 2x4, crunching and rockabilly. The Wonderful Peel session is okay with a huge highlight. Pat Trip Dispenser is more menacing than it is on the record and features Brix! 2 by 4 is 2 by 4 and CREEP is more poppy in this version.
But! Words of Expectation! One of the best Fall songs ever - 9 minutes 16 seconds of a simple bass and guitar rift with Mark muttering over the top: "Every now and then I would like to try something like this". I'm a head wrangler! Just when you think it's all getting boring.
Then the David Jensen session : God Box, Lay of the Land, Oh! Brother, CREEP. Moving closer to the album versions - there was some awkward conversation with Mark as a part of this I think but iTunes is refusing to play it. And then the Oh! Brother single (backed with God Box). And then the most un-fall like thing going: a dub version of Oh! Brother called O! Brother. Genius.
