 My Back
Wages is a compilation of previously unreleased songs and unreleased versions
of songs. The album is attributed to The Cleaners From Venus but this is
not quite the case.
Martin wasn't actually thrilled at Jarmusic releasing
this album as he felt there were reasons why they weren't released. It
is true the sound quality isn't always wonderful, but to hard core fans
of Martin's music thsi album represents a treasure trove. I personally
love a great many of these songs and have badgered Martin to re record
some of them. Whether he will or not remains to be seen.
If you consider yourself a real fan and you haven't bought this one yet
I urge you to do so. I wouldn't be without it.
Songs :- Crane Drivers/Gulf War
Song/Incident in a Greatcoat/Bag of Dust/Haunt Your House/Drowning Butterflies
(revised by Dave Gregory)/Red Guitars and Silver Tambourines/Everytime
I Go Up/You Should Have Called/Gate Crashing Oyster Park/Stay Litt/Bodecea

Incidentally :- Bodecea
Jones was to have been on The Spirit Cage and Stay Litt was turned down
by Andy Partridge for The Greatest Living Englishman. Many of the tracks
come from a cassette which was a Christmas present for Irwin Chusid of
WFMU Radio. Nobody knows who leaked it to Joachim.......... (or do they?)
