I think Jarvis doesn't like "missing links". Just think of all the missing links betweeen Different Class and This is Hardcore. "Cocaine Socialism" and "It's a Dirty World" perfectly explain what happened to Jarvis (and the band) between those two albums but unfortunately the songs didn't end up on the album. The same from This is Hardcore to We Love Life. Jarvis always seems to be more interested in "the perfect album" then in "a compilation of the best songs I have right now".

Well, i agree totally with Cocaine Socialism and It's a Dirty World.

But, i don't think tracks such as Pilchard make FC a better album, in fact its worse. It breaks the flow of the record. Track 3 is clearly where Girls Like It Too should have been with I never said i was deep pushed back on the tracklisting, but it would have been too perfect.

I guess since Different Class, Jarvis doesnt like perfection. It's ok, but it could have been better. We've been saying that for 10 years now. He dont want to get big again, i can totally understand that.

Jarvis is fond of self-sabotage.

And was anyone else double-billed from Rough Trade?

Gotta check that. I know it cost me 10 euros (roughly 8 £) for just one vinyl. You gotta love independant labels, eh.

I got Girls Like It Too on eMusic, having forgotten all about it until today. Woo!

Initial reaction: s'alright. Pretty. Would have been one of the more likeable tracks on the album if it had made it in. Certainly strikes me as a stronger song than 90% of the FC lineup, and I don't think it would have diminished the flow or feel of the LP for being included. I want to listen to it some more, which hasn't really happened with the album after several months.

I was hoping it would be a killer track (OK half decent, would do),  but yet again I am underwhelmed.  Still at least I now have "Further Complications", the one track album.....
