Urban Blues, the album you see advertised at you, is the composite of two albums as they were originally released - Puppy Spanners and Urban Blues. At the time of One Dog Clapping the band's disbandment (is that a word? it is now) there were six albums that i gave around to people (nobody ever paid money for one. that's not why i do it). i had intended to polish all six albums into well mixed gems, but circumstances (i.e. fatherhood and responsibility) made me decide to crunch the 6 down to 4 and not get so bothered about the opinions or otherwise of audiophiles, especially since the equipment needed to do it 'properly' is very,very expensive. honestly, i reckon the only reason there's pressure to have all the gear is because the 'industry professionals' have spent all this money and they don't want to feel like available music can be genuinely valid unless it's been mixed on the same high tech gear bought at the same premium prices. but, i digress. with the album crunch (everything's a crunch, innit?) i decided to try at least to keep songs or recordings of roughly the same vintage together. The only real exception is We Took Your Teeth and Replaced Them With Chimes which dates from after Trilby Furnace so should really go on Pasteurised... hang on, why didn't i think of this earlier? anywho, it is what it is.

Puppy Spanners is the only album that's ever actually been released by someone else (Peoplesound.com). It was only an 8 track album, and that was because i was dense rather than i only had 8 songs i wanted to release (full story not available because of selective memory loss).

there was a tune on here but it had to go while i make room for the book of dysfunction.
