Yeah I got the vinyl and the CD (obsessive, me?)

Right on there, I really enjoy listening to this LP, as it has the feel of a live band playing right there between my speakers. All that's missing is the "This next one's called..." and "Thank you, thank you"s

If you have web access, check Gregs WARP discog for a listing, but the lowdown is that it has nine tracks which are simply the contents of their first 3 EPs on Flaw - Snapper, Hot Flush (Which I guess is the one you have) and Swank. The Snapper EP I was lucky enough to get hold of when it came out, and subsequently the main track has appeared on umpteen "Trip Hop" compilations, but I have never seen "Swank" anywhere. The CD has been on sale round here at a slightly lower than full price - even at HMV it was only UKP10.79 (usual CD price in there is 13.99), so I guess WARP marked it down slightly reflecting the fact that this is all material which has been available before.
