[kj] [OT] Damned Jugg re-releases

[Darren A. Peace]

Well, released in the sense of on vinyl. There are a few tracks here (mainly
the less usual single remixes) that are on CD for the first time, I think.
I'll defer to your more comprehensive knowledge, but I only had, for
example, the Anything (another mix) on CD (on the MCA singles CD); only had
Anything (yet another mix) and Anything (and yet another mix) on vinyl.
Likewise Eloise (extravagant mix).

I like your Sugar & Spite stuff. You may be able to answer a question that's
been bugging me for a while - has the 7" version of "Dozen Girls" (not the
thermal underwear version from Strawberries, but the one with the girls'
names) turned up on CD anywhere?

Pity they're all previously released extras... though Thanks For The Night 
may be something different... both the single and Peel session have 
Sensible playing guitar so it seems a bit out of place on the Anything CD. 
Never heard of a Vanian/Scabies/Jugg/Merrick version though. There are 
Anything demos, but possibly not up to release standard.  There's some good 
moments on both albums, but the production of Anything is a bit too much 
for me- had to turn it off last time I attempted a play.  It was only 
really three-quarters finished as an album.

There was a pretty good Curtain Call on there too. And a not so good Wild 
Thing! Still, Rat must show he can play guitar too!

Hey I had that poster too!  I went one better than throwing it away 
though... it burnt along with the rest of my bedroom many years 
ago!  Oops!  Have seen it on Ebay a couple of times though, so more are out 
there.  The scrapbook you got was great!  Part two covering 79/80 was even 
better!
