Along with the third Distractions album, Kindly Leave The Stage, (YMIR7E1050) we'll have an exclusive website-only 10" mini-LP featuring outtakes from both Kindly Leave The Stage and The End of the Pier. The mini-LP comes with an insert featuring sleeve-notes by Steve Perrin, and is only available to purchase with the album either from us or from Fishrider Records of Dunedin, who will also be releasing the album in the Southern Hemisphere. Only 250 copies of the 10" have been pressed and there are no plans to release the material in any other format for the moment.

The acoustic version of Too late to change on side two features the last thing The Distractions recorded with the late great Mike Kellie, to whom this record is affectionately dedicated.
