The beginning of a long series of Rugger Bugger collaborations. This 7" is basically the bonus tracks from the CD version of "the Last" album, plus live versions of two songs from "Cherry Knowle"; don't expect anything new if you've already got those records.

1. Win Some, Lose Some This was originally on Snuff's first full-length ("Snuff Said" for short; the real title is unspeakably long) which shouldn't be surprising since Leatherface's bassist at this point was originally IN Snuff. What is surprising is that Duncan, the singer/drummer from Snuff, sings on this version instead of Frankie Stubbs. In fact, the only real difference between this and the original version is the whistle, and the weird dance part at the end with the racecar noises. Some sort of elaborate joke? Judge for yourself, because this song is also on "the Last".
2. Ba Ba Ba Ba Boo Frankie N. W. Stubbs doing his best Louie Armstrong impression. Also appears on "the Last".
3. Discipline (live) The studio version of this was originally on "Cherry Knowle".
4. Colorado Joe, Leningrad Vlad (live) The studio version was also on "Cherry Knowle".

Little White God
Domino Records RUG16 (1993).

Drums on "I Gotta Right" and "Meaning": Ian Syborne

Recorded at Blackwing Studios and Ramshackle Studios, December 1993.

I guess this was the "single" from "the Last". Other than "Little White God", which was on that album, all we've got here are a couple of not-particularly-impressive covers. Oh, and for the record, I have no idea who "Ian Syborne" is.

1. Little White God From "the Last".
2. I Gotta Right This is, of course, the Iggy Pop song. If you can sit through the heavy metal production, they do a bit of the "Mission Impossible" theme towards the end.
3. Meaning Originally by China Drum. "China WHO," you say? China Drum are an English pop-punk band; Frankie Stubbs produced some of their early records and generally helped them out. They had an album out in the States but you could be forgiven for missing it because it looked (and sounded) like cheesy college rock. Anyhow, this was a really good song of theirs, and sadly this version does not do it justice. The energy, the intensity, are just gone. It hurts me to say this, but Leatherface dropped the ball on this one.
