Domino got the songs mastered at Abbey Road, and we put the artwork together and then everything was ready.

This vinyl 7" single was first (Sept 2003). It's a "double A side".

The front cover photo (from Loch Etive, Scotland) is quite fitting for "Here On My Own", although the song's really more about being alone in a crowd.

Roll your cursor over the pic to see the back - that's the big road tunnel above Lysebotn, in Norway.

The record sleeves were all "reverse printed" which means the shiny side of the cardboard is on the inside.

The album is on the streaming sites nowadays but it came out in October 2003 on vinyl and CD, in UK and Europe.

Scandinavia was via Playground Music, and Russia in 2004 was via Zakat.

The cover picture is from the top of the Lysebotn road, an hour after the tunnel picture.

The running order is different on the vinyl version because bassier songs work best at the outer edge of the disc, where the groove-per-revolution is longest.

I was going over to Sweden to do some shows and Domino said it'd be nice to make this CD up for the merch table.

There are only 250 copies, on Domino-logo CDRs (Domino Code:WIGCDR2). Flat paper sleeves, quite grainy print.

It's a sound desk recording from the first proper unpoc gig. Seven songs from Fifth Column plus two others (On A Roll and Your Records And Your Beautiful Home).

I took the CDs to the Swedish shows in July 2004 but it only occurred to me to number them the day after the first show, so there are about 50 unnumbered copies in circulation, mostly around the Malmo area.

Anyway, yes, single released, album released, next up it was time for reviews.
