There's the standard, best-of singles collection for those unfortunate enough never to have listened to the restaurant-torching trio before now - and for the fans a triple disc package containing the aforementioned disc of A-sides, a disc containing all the band's b-sides and (just in case you didn't already have enough non-sequitors in your life) a third disc containing demos and live tracks.
Carefully selected by messir Andy Falkous, Mcluskyism looks set to prove once and for all that not only was their band better than your band; they really did have more songs than a song convention.
Sing it!

ho is mclsuky?
I've got a tape...
with demos by Best (Mclusky before they became Mclusky), Mo-Ho-Bish-O-Pi, Terris and Curveside.
Now who wants to touch me?
I have a Best CD, too
DON'T touch me.
I was
at that ULU gig that the live tracks are from. It was possibly the least enjoyable show I saw of theirs but I guess ULU usually sounds pretty good so thats why they chose it.
So going to buy the 3 disc set even though I can't afford. Damn being such a completist.
£8.99
(for once the approx makes sense)
it's pretty cheap considering something or other
I miss them
so so so so much....
Me too
If more bands were as bad-ass as Mclusky the world would be a much, much better place.
will
be buying this.
wooooooooo!
the only time I managed to see mclusky, chapple kicked some pissed-up idiot off the stage and he landed on his head and knocked himself out.
definitely be getting this...mind you, their b-sides generally suck.
not
whiteliberalonwhiteliberaction and provincial song. both of those songs own my life.
Ah
I think I was at that gig (working). Was it when Chapple booted the geezer in the back when he was looking out at the crowd? Incredibly dangerous, but (shamefully) his expression as he realised he was floor-bound was priceless.
Where was it?
was at this gig too
and the following night for their last gig supporting shellac and they looked like a band that were about to split... falco & chapple just bickering amongst themselves and trying to be funnier than the other... sad...
Bring on the three disc set, mind...
Seems like stating the obvious...
...but Mclusky rule(d) with an iron fist.
yes
yes and yes
Does anybody know...
If the triple disc package will be PURE 196CD or PURE 197CD ???
playlouder say
197. for what its worth..
Thank you
Sir.
will buy it
if it's not too expensive !
It's well worth it!
£11.99 for a limited edition 3-cd set? Bargain!
