VILP 2x was 'This' package. Also designed for mainland Europe only and limited to around 900. This contained a 'Crunch' EP, a copy of the 'It's A Cracker' 7", a "How To Age/Heroin' Flexi, a booklet about us all,( v. amusing), in various languages and a lyric sheet to the song 'This'. Rough Trade's way of getting rid of surplus stock.

Peel session: Down In The Dumps / Coincidence / At the End of the Day / Rockin' With Rita


1986
Rockin' With Rita by 'The Vindaloo Summer Special', (The 'Gales/Ted Chippington and Fuzzbox) The idea being that WEA could get Fuzzbox and Ted popular anyhow but didn't know how to get the 'Gales 'anywhere'. We did a Cramps style 'Rita' on a Peel session and Rob Dickens at WEA heard it, made some comment at how my guitar playing reminded him of his own low standard and hit upon the idea of a novelty record. All backfired nicely. We made a video on Blackpool pleasure beach on a day off from the Vindaloo tour. (Made by The comic Strip team, i think, and starring/scarring the then Chelsea player Pat Nevin). The subsequent industrial dispute from TV technicians, meant no videos were shown at all on TV for a while in the summer of 86. So that put paid to that.
