Got the albums, all singles, one promo one too I think, couple of T's, couple of caps, set list from The Richmond (circa 1996/1997) Bastinado release poster etc etc

I have just come across a Kerbdog Tour Itinerary from 1993's end of green tour for sale on a number of record dealer websites. Just wondering does anyone have it already? Most websites are looking for £27 for it while one american site is looking for $43. Not sure if its worth it. What do ye think?

I've seen those for sale alright - never been bothered to buy one as they are going for way over what I would pay for them.

That sounds awfully like the 2 CD set that Russell Quinn made, though that CD set was circa 1996 or 1997 and was on the Kerbdog or Wilt mailing list he used to run. TBH, it's just the B-sides of all the singles really. Most of those tracks'll be on the media section here.

One track that always seems to be missing from peoples collections is Something In My Head, a Dry Riser 7" B-side. I have all my vinyls in storage so I cant lay my hands on it right now although I almost sure I have a copy of the mp3 too. Its not on my current hard drive but Im sure I can find it around here somewhere. Its a really nice little track, quite a lot more mellow and melodic then the majority of their earlier stuff (actually not a million miles different to Wilt now I think of it). Random bit of trivia, its actually cover of a track by Jerusalem Taxis, another Kilkenny band featuring JJ Cantwell (of JJ's song fame). Ill have a look for it over the next few days and if I can find it Ill certainly upload it for you all, presuming none of the lads have any objections.

Ah, always good to hear tracks I've never heard before if yea throw it up on an file-upload site I will throw it into the media gallery on here

Update: just found the vinyl on eBay. Took awhile to find, turned out it was listed as "kirbdog dry riser" again, eBay is a bad place for my bank account! This record looks like a fairly rare one

Well I found it anyway, the quality isnt mind blowing as it was taken from a line out of an old vinyl player a few years back.

I just zipped it and threw it up on my site so feel free to download it and stick it up on the gallery here, enjoy!!

Cheers Dave, will see about getting it into the media gallery.  When I get my vinyl I will see about getting it re-ripped.

Quick Question for ye. Just saw on wikipiedia that Kerbdog's debut album was called 'Totally Switched' in the US, is this right? I assume it was the same as the european release or was there any bonus tracks?

Its the first time i have seen it refered as that, bit of a lame title if you ask me - has 'record company decision' written all over it!

Yea, I think it was a record company trying to jazz it up a bit. Maybe they don't like having the same album name as the band.

Thanks Phily, thought i might have missed out on something!

A friend of mine had the US release. The cover was absolutely identical to the UK/Irish one. I don't remember the album being renamed, but then it might have been. The main difference was, the cover was made out of non glossy paper and the CD didn't have an image on it, it was cream/white with green writing IIRC. It def didn't have the image the Euro one had at ant rate. This was back in 1995/1996 thoygh, so forgive my memory.

Have a look at the CD/covers of my US copy here - http://www.Kerbdog.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=1254
The European and Japaneses versions I have are the same, just that the JPN version has another inlay card with the lyrics in Japanese and English. Those are here, here and here

WOW! Did I actually remember that correctly? hah!

Edit: I notice that it doesn't mention this "title" that some have mentioned. That does look exactly like the version my mate had. He got it whilst working in Pennsylvania, so it was def the US release.
