Longpigs: Singles, B-Sides & Rarities

TREON256
Longpigs were a British alternative rock band who rose to fame on the fringe of Britpop in the 1990s, comprising Crispin Hunt (vocals), Richard Hawley (guitar), Simon Stafford (bass guitar) and former Cabaret Voltaire member Dee Boyle (drums) who was replaced by Andy Cook (drums) on their second album. Hailing from Sheffield, the group had success with singles such as "She Said", "On and On", and their well-received debut album The Sun Is Often Out (1996). source

Notes:
Whenever discusing underrated 90s bands it usually won't belong until someone metions the Longpigs. A friend recommended them to me over a decade ago, up until that point I had never heard of them before which surprised me as they sounded exactly like the kind of band I would have been into during the mid to late 90s (if I wasn't busy listening to Oasis on an almost constant loop that is).
As the years have gone by I've come to like Longpigs more and more but it's putting this mix tape together I've really begun to appreciate what a great collection of songs are in their back catalogue.
It's a real shame that there has been an official "Complete Collection" or singles boxset released in the 20 years since the band split as that would be a must buy for me. In 2013 saw the release of "On And On: The Anthology" by 3 Loop Music but it seems to have been done with no involvement with any member of the band. So I've put this mix tape together of singles, b-sides and rarities. This isn't a definitive collection as there are a few b-sides missing but this is everything I have.

01 - She Said
02 - Take It All
03 - Devoted

Ashes To Ashes: Series 3 (Unofficial Soundtrack)

TREON252
Ashes to Ashes is a British fantasy crime drama and police procedural drama television series, serving as the sequel to Life on Mars. The series began airing on BBC One in February 2008. A second series began broadcasting in April 2009. A third and final series was broadcast from 2 April to 21 May 2010 on BBC One and BBC HD.

Notes:
Whether you're a fan of the series or not it's hard to deny that it's early 80's setting lends itself to a fantastic soundtrack. The Official soundtrack releases for series 1 and 2 are both brilliant (I own both) but when I took a look at the tracklist for the 3rd series I was disappointed that some of the great songs that actually appeared in the series didn't make it on to the album. So I created my own version and included other great tracks that also didn't appear on the previous official releases.

You can download all three Official released versions (Series 1, 2 & 3) from this blog: Lagrima Psicodelica 5

Tracklist:
01 - The Cure - The Lovecats
02 - Eddy Grant - Electric Avenue
03 - Tears For Fears - Ideas As Opiates
04 - Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want To Have Fun
05 - Echo & The Bunnymen - The Cutter
06 - Elvis Costello - Watching The Detectives
07 - Herbie Hancock - Rockit (Album Version)
08 - Public Image Ltd - This Is Not A Love Song
09 - U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday
10 - Roxy Music - Same Old Scene
11 - Dexy's Midnight Runners - Show Me
12 - Simple Minds - Promised You A Miracle (Album Version)
13 - Spandau Ballet - True (Single Version)
14 - Tears For Fears - Mad World
15 - The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star (Single Version)
16 - Tom Robinson Band - 2-4-6-8 Motorway
17 - Simple Minds - Hunter And The Hunted
18 - Gary Numan & Tubeway Army - Are 'Friends' Electric?
19 - Yazoo - Only You
20 - Supertramp - Take The Long Way Home (Album Version)
