Something of interest to keep you waiting. A couple of tracks from the forthcoming Rightback Records release, "A Shot in the Dark Go Pop" wherein Scrotum Poles take the mantle of a fake band a la Sergeant Pepper, "A Shot in the Dark". (Actually not strictly true - we played one gig as A Shot in the Dark at the Craigton Coach Inn, Monikie for money - £40 I think it was - and there was no way we could have played it as the SPs). We had to play two one hour sets, so just played all the songs at least twice and "Pick the Cats Eyes Out" three times. Heady days.

Recorded in summer 1980 - warning the production is rough (two track with simple mic courtesy of Alan Officer) :

Undivided Loyalty (Steve Grimmond's lyric inspired by that Kirkup poem about nationality)

Circumstances (Smeg lyric - band beginning to get influenced by Public Image et al - I think Careering was in my mind at the time. Mmm)
