Followed up by a double A-side of the last 2 minutes of You Were Good In Your Time remastered in surround sound, and an extended remix of the middle bit of Black-Eyed Susan. Yours for only £24.99!
Also notice that the bass is missing from the mix until about 53 seconds in. Moz himself looks very uncomfortable here too - it's always hard for bands to work up their usual stage presence when crammed into a small space in a brightly lit tv studio, and being surrounded by a random bunch of...
Boz has got two studios, one in Portugal and one in the UK, where he is involved in making records with various bands and artists, he runs a record shop in London, and writes and and plays as a solo artists as well as with his wife's band. He's not far off 60 himself so perhaps he's not too...

Live in these houses?
What kind of sad dad...
Remember around the time of Kill Uncle when people were calling Mozzer an anachronism and saying he should embrace the (then-)fashinable sound of baggy? Well with Jim Jim Falls he's finally done it!
For some reason that shot used in the cover still is reversed - you've got a left-handed Boz, stood on Moz's left, Matt playing a left-hand setup kit, and Mando going right-handed on bass!
If I remember correctly Graham Norton was a stand-in host on the Jack Docherty Show on Channel 5 at the time. Norton did such a good job that he went on to a long and successful career as a host, while Docherty...well...
