Butterfield 8

In 1988 Mark Bedford and Terry Edwards got together to record some instrumentals which would have been out of place in their previous bands (Madness and The Higsons respectively). The demos caught the ear of a record company mogul who put them in a semi-posh studio in north London and duly released a limited run of the results.

This fully remastered version of the original album also contains the unreleased out-take Itch, the 'dry' mix of Anita said goodbye, a new edit of Our lady of the laundromat alongside Watermelon man (extended version) and Rag, both of which were previously only released on 12" vinyl.
