[1999? - Fieberkurve - FKCD002 - CD]

Kristallin "Prettiest Girl" Despite the shorter title this is indeed a cover of TVPs' "The Prettiest Girl In The World". From the compilation Under The Influence Of Bad Weather (Fieberkurve Compilation Vol. 6).

Mr. T Experience "I Don't Know Where Dan Treacy Lives" American pop / punk band Mr. T Experience included this acoustic song about Dan Treacy in their 5 tracks EP The Miracle Of Shame. "I don't know where Dan Treacy lives / I heard he just dropped out of sight / No one knows where Dan Treacy lives / But I hope he's alright". Click here for the full lyrics.

[2000 - Lookout - LK254 - CDEP]

[1991 - Roman Cabbage Vinyl - GREY 6 - LP]

The Paisley Shirts "David Hockney's Diaries" From the VV.AA album Sorry... Sold Out. Quite appropriately titled since only 50 copies were pressed. Hand painted sleeves. No sleeve notes. Each track is introduced by Joe Foster.

[1992 - Roman Cabbage Vinyl - GREY 5 - 7"]

The Paisley Shirts "Sad Mona Lisa" From the 7" EP For All The Girls We Loved Before. This 4 tracks EP never saw the light of day due to pressing problems. Just a few test pressings exist.

[1992 - Mermaid - MIRABELL 001 - CD + Booklet]

The Paisley Shirts "The Dream Inspires" A tribute to Eleine D. Jezùs's book He Didn't Even Draw A Fish on My Shower Curtain, this CD came with a wonderful booklet with a page for every band and notes about the book, its author and the bands involved in this project. The booklet is packaged in a transparent slipcase with a jellow mouth sipping from the bottle (which was too difficult to scan). Very, very nice.

Saint Etienne "How I Learned To Love The Bomb" From the He's On The Phone remix CD. It should be noted that a gazillion versions of this record exist (eight, that I know) but the TVPs cover is only on this one (cat. no. HVN 50 CD R). Bob Stanley is a TVPs fan, so this cover should be no surprise (he also published TVPs' "I Still Believe In Magic" on his CAFF label).

[1991 - Heavenly - HVN 50 CD R - CDEP]

[1995 - Save Our Sperms - S.O.S. 04 - Tape]

S/T "Ich Weiß Wo S/T Lebt" Since they didn't know where Syd Barrett lived (as they explain on the tape's booklet), they decided to sing about themselves! Despite the title in german, the song is sung in English. The tape was packaged in a dogshit-bag with a few gimmicks and a booklet inside. All 24 songs are cover versions of bands they like (The Legendary Pink Dots, Amon Düül 2, Can, Daniel Johnston, Joy Division, etc). Only 25 copies of Shitty Titbits were made.
