I'll see if I can get mp3s off that tape at some point so you can listen to those other songs! Oh and I really recommend Frankie Machine's 7"s - they're amazing.

I added that tape to the discog above. I see both "I Might Miss It" and "I Sure Do!" are on it. Are they the same versions as the 7"? "Peeg Sex" a "Got To Wait" may be exclusive to your tape. I've never heard those songs. Jennifer, "sheer enthusiasm" is a perfect way to describe The Almanacs! Awesome, thanks Marianthi! I added that tape to the discog above.

Jennifer, “sheer enthusiasm” is a perfect way to describe The Almanacs!

It turns out it came free with a Greek fanzine in 1993. I played it again after all these years and it sounded great! Ed, here you go: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/71dc8e022b.gif

I'm not too sure right now if it was Ian or Paul who said that he still has a box of the 7" singles in his parents house...and I'm still waiting for him to get it before I can buy myself a copy! :-) nice!

Yeah, the Frankie Machine stuff I have is great! I forgot to add a link to his site in the post, but I fixed that. And it looks like I need to get caught up on his newer stuff. I only have the Chocolate Hearts cd from 2004. Thanks Marianthi! Yeah, the Frankie Machine stuff I have is great! I forgot to add a link to his site in the post, but I fixed that.

I have an ancient tape with the Almanacs and another Derby band (the tape is entitled The Derby Tape - I know!) and I had no idea Rob Frankie Machine was in them. I'm so happy you mentioned it because I didn't know anything about them and Frankie Machine is one of my favourite people ever. Wow, thanks for that!
