now you mention ball and chain.....i can hear a tiny bit of it there

save us from the clockwork train......

funnily though i get a feel of everyday story of smalltown while listening to it.......i can't wait to have a listen to it for real without the cool french kids nattering over the top of it!

I gotta find a copy of this song! I Love it except for all the kids talking over it

Its fantastic ---I can put it on a little disc with SPiral and say it and wonderfalls and a couple others for like the last xtc album that never was

terrific song almost a dukes vibe

WHere can we find it!

whobeatle

Isin't it driving you crazy!

Here somewhere in America I need that song!

one more thing-the little compilation idea of latter day non album songs like SPiral-Tin Toy CLockwork Train and Say it---etc ---is a good way to go compiling a little imaginary album

How else can you do it ?----I even put that Terry and the Lovemen track on there--but I'm thinking of making that a nonsuch bonus track instead more techically correct!

Is anybody out there! Can you hear me!

Tommy can you hear me! I'm looking for a Tin Toy Clockwork Train! Helloooooo

I'm torn between thinking it sounds like a Dukes track or a late period XTC track or what--Kind of hard to tell with French people speaking over the top of it with traffic and crowd noises!

When he did that Wonderfalls song it wasn't that hard to hear a clean version

What about all those records hasn't somebody posted something somewhere for people like you and me!

I've searched high and low for a dozen days since Per pointed the way, and have had no success. However I did have a bit of back and forth with Todd Bernhardt and asked him if he knew of any plans for an official release for us non-Eurostarers...
He asked Andy two days later during his 'Song of the Week' chat and here's his reply:
"Asked him about the Eurostar track, and it's basically theirs for the next 2-1/2 years, but ownership reverts to Andy after that, so he will certainly release it then, I think."
So, for the time being I say keep checking eBay - I'm sure one of those lucky buggers will realise they have a little goldmine in their possession and decide to part with it.

-mk-

I knew that--that Todd guy told me the deal about the two and a half year Euro ownership of the track
same exact story

Hey man thats too long to wait! Whats the point of even having a song for your company if people talk over it!

there will be another answer

if nobody was supposed to hear it u wouldnt press up records of it would you ? that would be pretty stupid if you didint want people to hear it--seeing as how that is what a records purpose is to use it to play the song

something will turn up in the next week if I have to fly to France myself--I certainly hope that wont be necessary

Geeez.... I went to the Swindon Advertiser "Ask Andy" site and asked this question a few days ago! I should have just asked Todd B.!

Oh well - if you fly to France whobeatle, pick up a few extras will you?

how many copies of the record did they give out ?

few hundred ? More ?

half the people probably didint speak english or know what they had but there must have been a few xtc fans in the bunch! somehow cant one of you English blokes check the french rock sites see if its posted or somebody mentioned getting a copy

I cant read french so i cant do it!

Omnibus is French....we need to ask her very nicely to see if there are any copies on frenche-bay!!Those people certainly didn't deserve to get them....It seemed as if most of them didn't even know what it was!...tut!

Did somone find it ?

can someone send me a message ?

how did you get all the words ?

After brief but intense therapy-I have relinquished my urgent need for Tin Toy Clockwork Train

and have decided to worry about the new ZOmbies album instead

Sorry Andy but I couldn't take the unresolved stress of waiting anymore

Divorce is so bittersweet

Hey is anybody going to the chunnel station in PARIS
is there room ? are you sure
