- They Suffocate at Night (7" versions of TSAN and Tunnel and the 12" possibly differently mastered 12" of TSAN)
- Master of the Universe (Sanitised version and the 1986 version of Manon that really is the highlight of this set. You ain't heard Manon 'til you've heard this!)
This link (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NWBGKMG5) gives the cut-down version which doesn't contain any material currently on sale.
If you PM me and confirm in writing that you own Freaks and Masters of the Universe (but can't be bothered downloading them in order to make up the missing tracks on this) then I'll give you a link to that. I think that (vaguely) covers something or other. If not and I'm treading on very dangerous ground, do let me know!!

Cool. I thought it was only unreleased stuff you were compiling but I suppose that would leave certain eras such as this one fairly threadbare. This probably knocks spots off the pending Freaks reissue.
Feckin' Fire...they should have camped outside Manner's house until he let them have band rehearsal versions on shitty cassette of 'Snow' and 'I've Got A Dream For You'.
It occurs to me Stephen that you havn't included the Radio Sheffield interview, 16th May '87, about Freaks on this set. Are you planning on including it on Portfolio 8? It's a strange one 'cos the Freaks band had split up by the time of the interview but it is ostensibly about the new album.
I'm being anally chronological about it all, Stephen. It is indeed from May '87 and J & R do explain about the delay in releasing Freaks. All part of the usual Pulp delays really, and helps to further add to the tale!
