I don't suppose they're going to get into the charts and you'll very likely never see them on Top Of The Pops, but a wonderful band for all that.” - John Peel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e● Full Bog-Shed back catalogue available on CD for the first time, in clamshell box.\u003cbr\u003e● Audio remastered for the first time, with restored original artwork.\u003cbr\u003e● Includes the complete John Peel Sessions 'Tried \u0026amp; Tested Public Speaker', 14 tracks of which have never been released.\u003cbr\u003e● New album 'Who Scoffed The Trill?' of live performances \u0026amp; rarities, only in the box set, not on any DSPs.\u003cbr\u003e● 28-Page booklet featuring writing from John Robb, Rhodri Marsden, \u0026amp; the original members of Bog-Shed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the beginning of the year it was reported that Tesco was phasing out CDs and DVDs in its UK stores, with plans to stop selling physical media altogether by the end of February 2022. So obviously the time is right to finally commit Bog Shed's recorded output to CD (and digital platforms) for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe band formed in 1983 and over the next four years released their debut EP Let Them Eat Bog Shed, followed by two albums; Step On It and Brutal, as well as a compilation of their John Peel Sessions (Tried \u0026amp; Tested Public Speaker, originally a 6-track EP). The version of Tried and Tested Public Speaker released here features 20 of their John Peel session tracks, 14 of which have never before been released.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMike and Mark were born in Liverpool in 1961 but met at school in Ormskirk aged 9. Their 70s were T.O.T.P, Top 20, Fluff Freeman, John Peel, Probe, Eric's and the peculiar hippy\/ punk crossover of the free festivals. Every Saturday they would play rubbish guitars through a home made amp. After leaving Polytechnic Mike and Mark moved to Hebden Bridge soon to be followed by Phil who moved into Northwell Cottage in Heptonstall. This was an ideal space to play and rehearse. Stone-built and clinging to a hill with the toilet in a shed down a steep path next to a well for your water. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrummers were tried, but were either temporary or just plain wrong. Tris, who befriended the others drinking in the Trades Club, got the job having never played the drums. The Bradford gig on Who Scoffed The Trill? was 2 weeks later and these live songs are early tunes that never got recorded. There were many more, but C90's got recycled and we will never again hear Open Up In The Name Of Fred Feast or I saw Cleo Laine In A Phonebox. Who Scoffed The Trill?'s 22 tracks are exclusive to this box set and won't be available on streaming platforms. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir debut EP Let Them Eat Bog Shed was released on John Robb's Vinyl Drip label in 1985 and led to their track Run To The Temple appearing on the NME's now-legendary C86 cassette. However, this was the age of DIY and Phil decided they should be even indie-er and start their own label, Shelfish, having declined offers from the Creation and Abstract labels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhil was technically the best musician in the band, he could play and sing every Beatles song. John Robb describes him and the cottage, 'A total one-off, Phil was a Stanley Baxter lookalike with flared nostrils and a flared mind who was funny as fuck and had a brilliant quirky worldview. His house was an extension of his unique personae. Every morning at breakfast a horse from the neighbouring field would poke its head through the kitchen window and nibble bits of toast and listen to the clatter of cans being swept up.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhil still organised gigs in Britain and Europe but the well-known stresses of travelling in the back of a van for miles and miles to be manic for an hour started to tell. What had been creative tension just became tension So in 1987 it stopped. Phil died of throat cancer in 2006 having fallen out with Mark and Tris. Tris went on to play with A Witness before joining Jackdaw with Crowbar. He played in many side projects on a variety of instruments until he died of brain cancer in 2008. Mike still draws and came up with the new sleeve artwork.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD1 – Let Them Eat Bog-Shed\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 Panties Please \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 Spencer Travis \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 Fat Lad Exam Failure \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 Slave Girls \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5 City Girls \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 Hand Me Down Father \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCD2 – Step On It\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 Mechanical Nun \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 Run To The Temple \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 Adventure Of Dog \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 Tommy Steele Record \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5 Jobless Youngsters \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 Tried To Hide But Forced To Howl \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e7 Packed Lunch To School \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e8 Summer In My Lunchtime \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9 The Fastest Legs \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e10 Oily Stack \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e11 Hell Bent On Death \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e12 Can't Be Beat \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e13 Little Car \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e14 Morning Sir \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e15 Story Of Bogshed \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCD3 - Brutal\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 Raise The Girl \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 Geoff's Big Problem \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 Old Dog New Dance \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 No To Lemon Mash \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5 I'm The Instrument \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 Opportunatist Knocks \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e7 People Equal Greedy \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e8 Sing A Little Tune \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9 C'mon Everybody \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e10 Uncle Death Grip \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e11 Spring \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e12 Loaf \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e13 Excellent Girl \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e14 True Rope \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e15 Stop Revolving \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e16 Your Science My Sound \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCD4 – Tried \u0026amp;
