"On June 16, 2025, I saw this UK Subs multi-track demo tape for sale on eBay, of all places. I got it and sent a photo of the front cover of the tape box, which informs the back cover of this 12" to Pete Davies to see what he might remember. He said it looked legit. I took the tape to Infrasonic Sound, a great studio in Nashville, Tennessee and asked engineer Pete Lyman if he could transfer the tape. Days later, he sent Ian MacKaye and I a rough mix of the session. I was stoked to hear that three of the four tracks were unreleased. I contacted Ian and suggested we take the tracks to Don Zientara's Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, Virginia (where we made our first records decades ago) to mix them. On September 30 there we were with Don. Due to the tracks being so well recorded, and the band playing so incredibly, our first mix began to take shape very quickly. Part way into the session, Eddie Janney (Untouchables, Faith, Rites Of Spring, One Last Wish, Happy Go Licky, Skewbald) arrived to sit in and we had another Subs fan in attendance. Together, we finished mixing the last two tracks. We brought the mixes to Pete Lyman for mastering. I wrote Charlie and asked his permission to unleash the tracks and he said go ahead. So, here we are with three unreleased UK Subs tunes and a new mix of 'Same Thing.' Studio kicks, indeed! These songs are finally where they should be -- with you." --Henry

"The fifth UK Subs studio album, from 1983, remastered -- not available on CD for years. With extra tracks from singles; and now with bonus CD Gross-Out USA -- plus three never-before released demo tracks, in an all-card six-panel sleeve with unseen band photos. Albums F and G in the UK Subs A-Z series of albums. The album came at a crossroads for the UK Subs. Punk had become unfashionable, and the early line-ups had split leaving Charlie Harper to form a new band. He enlisted early Subs bassist Steve Slack (who'd left before their first recordings, replaced by his brother), drummer Steve Jones and guitarist Captain Scarlet. Navigating between the UK Subs punk ethos and wider accessible music, with many songs co-written by Slack and Scarlet, Charlie's lyrics reflected the current political paranoia of an Orwellian future, alongside hedonistic punk tales of life lived and characters met along the road. The album successfully led the band to decades of world tours and continue the now-legendary A-Z series of albums. Although the current band have given up lengthy tours, since Charlie's 80th birthday they still reconvene regularly for festivals and shorter excursions."

"Over a span of 15 years, a total of 24 tracks were released as singles, with the majority being non-album tracks. This special release is pressed on transparent yellow vinyl and features a double-LP gatefold sleeve adorned with a collage featuring all the band line-ups and members from the period. These singles were originally recorded for Fall Out Records/Jungle between 1983 and 1998, predominantly consisting of non-album singles. Bringing together tracks from six singles and EPs for the first time, this compilation offers a comprehensive look at the band's prolific output during this era. The sleeve art for this collection is sourced from an unreleased single, adding to its rarity and appeal. As the UK Subs celebrate the completion of their A-Z series of albums and 45 years of continuous touring, this release serves as a fitting tribute to their enduring legacy."
