These unreleased recordings and live shows are known to exist amongst collectors of the group's material. If anyone has, or knows of, any others then please contact Mick - any memorabilia or photos are also welcome as they could be useful as source material for the book Mick is writing about the group.

Also needed is a video of the group playing "Squashed things" and "The Green Man" on Toyah's BBC TV show!

 

Aside from the songs on the LP and the various singles, six songs were played live which never made it on to vinyl:

House on the Edge of the Wood
Six Word Hex
Rules for the Child in the Garden
The Wounded Stag Hotel
In Danstank Wood
The Day the Vikings Invaded the Cricket Match

                    on the Village Green at Upton Snodsbury
The first three above and Pheasant Copse Encounter also exist as studio recordings.

There is also a final unreleased recording, a Mississippi blues number usually referred to as "Mississippi Bollocks". This is the Dids, one member of the Photos (Ollie?), Bod and Gary from Finish The Story playing "live" in Tim's front room.
