Contents

Overview

It was a limited edition release on Stow College's Electric Honey label while the band were studying audio there. Thekidswho..., as it is generally referred to, has gone on to be regarded as a seminal release by the band. Three of the tracks feature in later releases ("57" and "Justboy" as album tracks and singles on Blackened Sky , and "Hope for an Angel" as a B-side on the "57" single), but the versions on this early CD differ from those later versions from the Blackened Sky era.
