"The Great White Wonder" - elusive US long-box version


























































When we made “The Great White Wonder” the UK version was intended to come out on Fierce (the US version was to be on Sympathy) but then the good unsuspecting folks at Cheree made a move just before the ‘window closed and the Fierce release was shelved. It got as far as test-pressings, and these are obviously not-many, but, I don’t know, maybe even the Fierce test-pressings aren’t as thin-on-the-ground as this, the Zoo long-box version. I mean, although this was how it was initially sold in the shops in the States when Zoo took over from Sympathy (and it didn’t do that badly, before you ask), I suppose most people would’ve feverishly ripped open the box and dumped it. Looks nice, though, don’t you think? Anyway, thought about this today because of the full-page about the album in the current Mojo Magazine (the one with Kate Bush on the front)... apparently. Haven't seen it yet cos Dutch shops (I'm in Holland at the mo) are a bit slow. 

"Think Bubble" is an album (LP only) of 1995 demos for an unreleased Pooh Sticks album.
See 'About Me' for details.
