    I’ve had this on a C90 for 26 years and never known what it was called. Thanks Penguin.

    This is one of my all time favourite albums. Side two still chills me in a scary way.

    Peter Pan is a great album!

    You wouldn’t have “Seedy Side Of…” there somewhere, would you?

    It’s the one Astronauts LP I’ve never been able to track down.

    Mark Wilkins fans should check out the Otters on myspace
    (http://www.myspace.com/theottersband )
    They’ve got a couple of tracks up there and curiously typical they are too.

    So good to hear, brings back great memories. Anyone from Welwyn still alive out there? Hey Mark, you should have signed that deal…

    Hi Thross, I reside in Welwyn AND I’m alive! Hopefully we’ll see some Astronauts reissues soon if we’re lucky…keep checking the link above.

    The Astronauts – The Donkey Riding – EP

    The first studio recordings from legendary anarchic folk-punks The Astronauts in almost a decade – burning with passion, wit and bile

    1. Donkey Riding
    2. Erupting
    3. Lonely and Loaded
    4. Waiting For July

    Featuring the irrepressible Mark Astronaut (lead vocals and songwriting) and the stalwart line up of Rico (guitar), Grae J (guitar, harmonica and backing vocals), Andy (violin), Sean (drums) and Matt (bass) along with some keyboard from Joe on Erupting.

    details on myspace page

    cheers x
