Can someone tell me if Frank Black played with the Teenage Fun Club and if there is an album the name of it!
Sorry about my ignorance!

| It's also on the MAN WHO WAS TOO DRUNK bootleg thing (what is that actually called?). I found the FB/Teenage Fanclub EP in Tower Records in London and was very excited. I love Frank's little writing blurb in there. |

This album was a highlight purchase of my trip to Londaon last winter. I bought it in HMV on Oxford St. I didn't think I would just find it ont eh rack walking into a random store.

| I bought that EP because I'd been sent to HMV to buy the works leaving present for a departing colleague. I couldn't bear the thought that the girl behind the counter would think I'd bought "The Eagles: Hell Freezes Over" DVD for myself, so The Peel Sessions was my "it's obviously not for me; do I look like I'm into The Sodding Eagles?" diversionary purchase. And boy was I glad; the version of "Handyman" on there absolutely blew me away. |

i think this little album marks very clearly the transition from the "eccentric" era (orange/yellow album TOTY) to the "back to the roots" era. it's somehow a turning point - in every aspect: more simple instrumentation, less "weird" lyrics, simple recording, even the singing is much more rootsy.
don't get me wrong, i think almost any fb-album is equally brilliant, and i know this one had to be recorded fast as it was a peel-session, that's why the simple recording & instrumentation...
but looking back, and looking from the outside, i can't help about this impression...
i remember when it came out there were two instantaneous impressions: wow, this sound or overall feeling of these songs is extremely powerful, and at the same time, it's very far away from the fb i knew until than.

FBC, this is s very old thread...you are really taking some threads out of the trunk! And to answer your question, I have it, the only bad thing about it is that it is too SHORT!
I can´t just listen to 4 songs when I listen to Frank singing...
