After the best of compilation come the inevitable remixes in a desperate attempt at contemporary relevance.
Leamington Spa 7 Hamilton Academical 4
The Sound Of Leamington Spa Volume Seven
The following are the CD liner notes for the originally planned release as transcribed from the vernacular.
The Gits – Men Or Gods?
[derivation: worm divided by tonka toy]
“You git!”
[origination: ‘orsham ‘ere ’tis]
Formed in Seattle in 1986 the ill-fated punk band known for their fiery live performances are nothing to do with this motley collection of reprobates from deepest darkest Sussex. Same time, different place, singer tragically moved to Brighton.
[motivation: like the Beatles, but better]
Wanted to be ‘The Misunderstood’ which proved to be far too difficult.
[explanation: pure pop for pop people]
Kings & Barnes Brown & Bitter. (Damn you Hall & Woodhouse, damn you to hell!).
[recollection: À la recherche du temps perdu]
Rob is 6ft 2cm tall, whereas Ben, who isn’t, takes a size ten shoe or boot. Ironically Jim weighs a fantastic 11 stone when lying down. By a strange coincidence neither of them are related.

[consummation]
The answer was Gods.
For one of the occasions the CD was ‘coming soon’ I knocked out a promotional short with commentary idea pinched from the video for the song Zusammen Verschwinden by a band I was listening to a lot at the time Karpatenhund. They continue until this very day as their alter egos Locas In Love.
Errors & Omissions: it should of course have been ‘clench your buttocks’. Sorry for any confusion caused. (The Gits are not liable for any injuries caused by following ambiguous advice).
Rumours
Probably a bit previous but the word on the web is that The Sound Of Leamington Spa Volume Seven could be out soon. So a video for our track.
Commentary idea half-inched from Karpatenhund’s Zusammen Verschwinden.
