Years of the Pig

Hey, the CD and 7" single versions of Year of the Pig are out today on Matador. Here is some vids of us playing the song for the first time last year in Montreal Canada from VBS:





In case you are confused:

There is a US version of the 7"

The aside is "Year of the Pig" edited by Eric Boucek, and a bside called "Mustaa Lunta" that G Beat wrote and recorded, and is very punk.

Additionally, there is a UK version of the 7":

The Aside features an edit of YOTP by the prodigious Carlos Hernandez, and the bside features our cover of "Anorak City" by the great Another Sunny Day.

Unbelievably, there is also a JAPANESE version of the 7":

Which features an edit of YOTP by Corona, and a bside called "For My Friends", which is a cover of the band Castlemusic, whose singer, you may recall, is the same Jennifer Castle, that does lead vocal on Year of the Pig.

Lastly, there is a COMPACT DISK version, that compiles not only all these 7" singles, but also the original 12" release, and its own bside ("The Black Hats"):

It is our belief that the bulk of each release will stay within its territory; it however, is also our belief that the effort must match the reward, in so much as the spoils are for the enterprising. It is unclear at the moment how many copies there are of each release. What is known is that 250 copies of the Japanese 7" currently reside in Barcelona, Spain.
