"Art is either a plagiarist or a revolutionist."
Paul Gaugin
Many old Manics singles are extremely hard to come by, so hours of searching second hand
record shops may be required (as if you needed the excuse!). Theme from M*A*S*H in
particular has now been deleted (though is available on Greatest Hits '92). 'New Art Riot'
appears to be periodically re-released by the record company Damaged Goods, (to prop up
the rest of their label?). An alternative of course is to get hold of bootlegs, which often
contain live or demo versions of 'unavailable' early songs. This file contains a list of the most
common bootlegs around. Almost all are on CD (Lipstick Traces being an exception),
however, there are quite a few unlisted ones around on tape.
Credit is due to Anthony Millard <anthony-millard@syntech.co.uk>. Without his almost
scary devotion to record fairs, I would not have been able to compile this list.
If you find any others not listed here then please get in contact.
