I worked this out from a tape of the band at soumd city 95 as my single is on
12" and that's too much hassle. That could explain if the order is wrong. Any
corrections or additions are welcome. If anybody wants Toys for Boys then send
me an e-mail. The album is out in January if anyboby wants to know.
Let me know what you think at mark@snowhite.demon.co.uk
