I feel I am perhaps hijacking AL100 Dead's thread. So I have moved my posts from there to here, so we can discuss the obscure, geeky stuff here and free up AL100 Dead's thread for the very interesting and important discussion of the albums and their songs. Others may not feel I am intruding and hijacking but I feel I am and I feel I should have started a seperate thread from the start. Anyway, there's no such thing as too many Cardiacs threads
Peter's Cardiacs' Anomalies No. 0
Talk of lost and hard to come by tracks made me go over to the Mares Nest website & look for this post that I wrote in December 2006 - bear in mind, some of my comments about availability are no longer correct, so please don't point those out to me...I KNOW!

"As my thread about this went awol along with the old forum, I'm posting it again in light of two threads asking about B sides and rare tracks:
When I say "still only available" I mean official releases not bootlegs or mp3s
"Hidden"

The rest of the cd-r I filled out with tracks from the two Garage albums that I'd never heard before, namely:
13. Gloomy News
14. Pip As Uncle dick But peter Spolied It
15. Left Alone My plastic Doll
16. Pilf
17. An Ant ("I'm talking to Johnny..")
18. Hello Mr Minnow
19. Hopeless
Then I added the "new track"
20. Faster Than Snakes With a Ball & Chain
Then I added three tracks from the "Rarities" bootleg cassette that a few of us bought from you know who in Camden High Street many years ago. Really early tracks that I haven't got on any other format, that aren't on Archive or the Garage albums or any of the live albums:
21. Hymn
22. The New General
23. Bitter Pill
And that's my "Hidden" album. I'm listening to it right now and it's bleeding great .... I'm talking to Johnny!!!!!"
