Steam / Womb - Captain Stupid Comics 1995



This single was given away with an issue of Captain Stupid Comics in 1995. The single was released on Slow Camel Records. It had a track by Steam on one side and one by Womb on the other. I apologise to Womb, I know nothing about them, were they are from or who was in them. Steam were a bit of a local super-group. Drummer Rob Key had played in The Cakekitchen and The Expendables, guitarist Danny Manetto for Shaft and Voom (Danny also played the Cello on Straightjacket Fits' She Speeds) bassist Nick Kreisler played in the Pet Rocks and Greg Fleming & The Trains and singer Chris McKibbin, in Lee Harvey and the Bagmen. This was Steam's only release.

These tracks were recorded off of a record that was etched not pressed. One of the King Worldwide Records lathe cut records made in Geraldine during the 1990s. The grooves were etched on to a polycarbonate disk rather than pressed into vinyl. So the quality is not the best.
