I've got a few 33rpm 7"s. I've even got a couple where the A-side plays at 45 and the B-side at 33. A friend of mine abhors 33rpm 7"s as he can't play them in his jukebox.

a lot of 7''e.p's used to play at 33rpm, they always sounded shite, and not quite at the RIGHT speed!!!! It was a cost saving bollox idea.
Oh the 7'' vinyl, oh I miss those days. Off to buy the pistols box set!

Speaking of 7"s, there's a really lovely limited edition box set of the Triffids' early singles available at the Domino website right now. The package includes the whole lot as 320 KBPS mp3s as well if you don't want to (or can't) play the records.

And no, I don't work for Domino but I am a bit of a Triffids fan :-)

I don't think it will I'm afraid. This is it!

I only posted the second point I wanted to make actually. The Worlds Apart single is just about the only Go-Betweens record I don't own physically. Could anyone tell me what the writing credit is on the Future Pilot aka collaboration "City Of Lights"? I assumed it was a co-write but I'd like to be sure.

Sorry Geoff, I should have said this singles box won't be released on Liberation but I believe the songs will appear on a rarities compilation CD later on in the Triffids reissue program.

Eke it's written by Sushil K Dade (Big Life Music), performed by Future Pilot AKA with RF & GM from the album Secrets From The Clockhouse.

Thanks - a full and complete answer! I have the album, because I wanted to hear the other version of the song, but only as a download so no information.

Hi Eke,
there is a difference between the two Lights of the City(s): the Worlds Apart version runs for approx. 2 minutes, but the Future Pilot album version runs for approx. 1 minute. Why? Because there is another version of the song, called Lights of the City on the album, sung by (the name escapes me now) which is 2 minutes. The 3 versions have (I believe) the same backing track. So Sushil K. Dade did not use the whole 2 minutes for both album versions, instead he dropped the instrumental coda from the album GBs version.

I really like this song, with it's full(?!) two minutes and the GBs. (The other full version, Lights of the City, is also good.) I must admit I was confused when I bought the Future Pilot album and did not enjoy the song as much as on the 7", but I figured it out in the end.

Have either of you heard the other b-side Sleeping Giant which is an original GBs song?

Sleeping Giant - a Robert Forster song, sounds like a nice demo. It chugs along (in a Creedence way) like some of his solo songs on Warm Nights - but with Grant's acoustic guitar interplay (that's my interpretation anyway). I like it.

Yes, agreed. A good song.

I do love City of Lights though and I'm just a little disappointed to find that Grant and Robert didn't have a hand in writing it. I hadn't noticed the FP AKA album version was shorter but then I don't play that album much whereas I do play my Go-Betweens b-sides (and etc) CD a fair amount!
