What does your Orange Juice/Edwyn Collins music collection consist of?

Well here's a thing. I started thinking about the Theme to the Punk Rock Hotel, B side of 'Ain't That Always the Way' written and produced by Edwyn for Paul Quinn. The piano was played beautifully by Paul Heard, later the main man of M People! This was a film idea Alan Horne had, rumours of which circulated for a long time, but which never came to fruition. I haven't heard it in over 20 years. I loved it. Could anyone put it up here and I'll see if I can put in the player?

anything I have is yours if needed.

Well now we know where to turn if we desperately need something. Edwyn's collection of his own stuff is miniscule compared to you guys. We're rubbish. x

OJ: Rip it Up LP, Dada With Juice VHS and Glasgow School CD.
Also a cassette of an early gig in 1979, it's somewhere in boxes.
I like my copy of Glasgow School, the package is torn after being listened a zillion times.

Australian album release called "More of her" by "band" called Four Hours Sleep - Edwyn sings a great upbeat song called Don't you ever listen to me, which was released also as a single. 1996 Mushroom Records.

Couple of smelly cassette releases:
One was shrinkwrapped with What Presence? single - features 1. In a nutshell 2. Simply Thrilled Honey 3. Dying Day. All recorded live ath Glasgow Pavilion by Radio Clyde 26/3/84

Another was shrinkwrapped with another single, maybe Rip it up ...
It was recorded in 1979 by Malcolm Ross and features: 1. Felicity 2. Botswana 3. Time to Develop
4. Simply Thrilled Honey (from memory). The sound quality is poor and the two unreleased songs are imho mediocre.

LP - The Fruit of Original Sin - Various Artists - including Orange Juice track (Wan light?) re-released on Ostrich Churchyard or whatever the postcard re-release was called. This LP has a wonderful gatefold cover and there's a great pic of Edwyn in the sleeve notes.

Wasn't there some CD 3" version of Poor Old Soul given away with a Japanese fanzine called 'Lock, stock and Barrell' or something like that, around the same time as the Postcard re-releases. I don't have it but I don't lose any sleep over it.
