ZRM speaks the truth. Lou Zealand, the fish thrower makes no appearance in this video.

Produced by cousin Declan, if I'm not mistaken. We'd always play Stupid Marriage at parties- the changing tempo was a trap for the unwary.

I'm not so sure, BBBB. I know he produced the first album, but the later, more dub-heavy stuff I though they did themselves.

...and upon consultation with the Wiki Weta Woo, see that indeed Mr. MacManus participation was limited to the first disc (vinyl!)

I must have a later reissue (vinyl!), because Ghost Town is one of the tracks...

yep, I have a CD that includes it, but I certainly remember a friend and roommate who had the big old (vinyl) EP that had it originally. I had to put it on a tape! (no, not an 8-track you snarky jerks)

In any case, by that time I think Mr. Little Hands Of Concrete had moved on to the Pogues, so he could score his first wife....
