Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
Get both sessions ten-inchers by Close Lobsters – PRE 036 and PRE 037 – plus all the postcards … and an added bonus disc featuring their Radio Clyde session from March 1989.

This is unavailable elsewhere and will not be sold on its own away from this bundle – and it includes an ultra-rare cover version of Soft Cell's Say Hello Wave Goodbye ! Also features Lovely Little Swan, La Grande Ennui [Knee Trembler] and Nature Thing.

BUNDLE BUYERS PLEASE NOTE -- the second download code will be included with the vinyl on a slip of paper inside the envelope containing the postcards -- the first is released automatically when you buy the records. I still cannot work out how to send both automatically.

Includes unlimited streaming of PRE 037: CLOSE LOBSTERS – John Peel session 04.01.88 via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
A year and a half after their first BBC session, Close Lobsters returned to Maida Vale at the behest of John Peel.

What emerged was a stunning session including three songs destined for their next single ‘What Is There To Smile About?’ – among them the Lobsters classic, ‘Loopholes’ – plus a cover with near-legendary status among fans: their version of ‘Mirror Breaks’ by anarcho-punk outfit The Mob.

Never before released in any shape or form, this is a ten-inch vinyl EP with download codes, a set of postcards (full of previously unseen images from days of yore) and a sleeve essay from The Ferocious Apache.
