Smith of the Fall, a poster for a gig and a ticket for a gig. Also included is a 7&quot; single by the Delmontes. This had previously been released in it&#39;s own right by Rational Records as Rate 3, but appears in this package with a remixed A side and different sleeve. Matrix numbers for the version included here are: <br /> <br /> AA side matrix and runout reads: RATE 3 AA (MPO has been crossed out) <br /> A side matrix and runout reads: RATE 3A2 <br /> <br /> The magazine in this package also includes notes on each of the featured bands as follows: <br /> <br /> A la rechercher du temps perdu: with characteristic emotional confusion, Josef K bring you &quot;Romance&quot; (from their first single), &quot;Head&#39;s Watch (from the same session, previously unreleased) and &quot;variation Of Scene&quot;, until now lying gathering dust amongst the tapes of a forgotten LP. In the blur of memory they walk from reality into myth..... <br /> <br /> With athleticism and animal energy The Associates rejoice with &quot;Dogs In The Wild&quot;. The emotional burlesque comes to town..... <br /> <br /> Mysterieusement: Bebe Blanche se trouve toute seule sans aucun affaires du coeur. <br /> <br /> To the west, between Ana Hausen and the Eiffel Towers, lies The Distance. Here, with delicacy and icy precision, they present &quot;A Threat&quot;. <br /> <br /> Article 58, often unsure and nervous, but frequently containing the excitement and exuberance of youth, leaving a minor classic in the Alan Horne/ Malcolm Ross produced &quot;Event To Come&quot; they give us their swansong &quot;Reflections&quot;. <br /> <br /> The Delmontes inhabit the ambiguous world of Happy sad. Things are not always what they appear. Don&#39;t Cry Your Tears&quot; and &quot;So it&#39;s Not To Be&quot; (now remixed) have been heard before .......but we all need reassurance, don&#39;t we?</div> </div> </div>
