Limited edition translucent orange colour vinyl.

C+TCS were part of the nebulous scene that included The Birthday Party, and you can hear influences of Nick Cave's gang in this, their masterpiece. But C+TCS were no mere emulators: this sounds like nothing else.

I Have the Gun starts proceedings; a propulsive sea-shanty with a middle section that sounds like a hostage negotiation gone bad. The Sly Persuaders is a slinky lounge tune sung by a world-weary prophet disgusted that his predictions have come true. The Dolphins and the Sharks is a beautiful, swooning, filmic mid-tempo ballad tinged with desperate longing and regret. Motherless Child is like a punk blues reimagining of Ennio Morricone.
