Formed from the ashes of the brilliant 'Cravats', came the even better and very much stranger 'The Very Things'. The singers strange vocals, warped fairground type music and odd lyrics make them incomparable (anyone know of anyone else that sounds like them? then leave a comment).All of these tracks are great but my favourite is 'The Bushes Scream, While My Daddy Prunes'
The reason there is two parts is down to my poor ripping, I thought the song had finished.
Ripped from FM radio and then ripped from glorious hissing tape

Great stuff Gary...
Pretty sure I've still got this and the YYN set on tape, but you've saved me alot of effort going thru my box of unlabeled cassettes!
Thanx mate ;)
Cheers Longy if you liked the Cravats you will like the Very Things.
No problem Rod, I've been meaning to post this for ages. Like you I still have piles of cassettes which I am not sure whats on them.
Don't know if anyone else knows that "Shend"/"The Shend"(the singer of The Very Things) went on to do some acting ... and can be found in various programmes (yes, even The Bill and Emmerdale Farm) usually as a heavy ... since he looked a bit like a ... heavy.
Apparently looking at his IMDB entry, he also played a werewolf in "Boon" ... well I never ...
Hi Schtick, no I didn't know the Shend was on the Bill and Emmerdale. Nice bit of trivia, thanks.
