hydroplane/the cat's miaow

Not sure if they're quite that scarce across the board... hopefully not the case for the majority!

just saw that bart & friends put something out last year… https://www.discogs.com/release/18017359-Bart-Friends-Tolmie-Wild-Thymes

did anyone hear it?

No I’ve had it on my want list though!

Hydroplane S/T gets a (first ever) vinyl reissue!

It's weird how little Hydroplane I've actually heard given that those Cat's Miaow compilations never get old for me. Probably time to round up them there FLACs.

there's a compilation and another lp also available on bandcamp

Two compilations!

Very handy, those are going in my cart for sure. Still have my Drive-In CD version of the self-titled all this time (but realized I should give it an upgraded rip, which I'm doing right now.)

That CD is hard to find. I’m really grateful for this reissue. The rarities compilation is very appreciated as well.

some kind ILXor (svend) sent me their copy many years ago for free because mine had cracked in half!

I've got all the singles and EPs, but I'm buying all the stuff they have available on bandcamp anyway just 'cos I want 'em to feel loved.

More!

Songs ’94-’98 is a smart selection of material from The Cat’s Miaow, an Australian indie-pop group that gifted their decade with some of its finest songs. Released on World Of Echo, the album draws from the group’s string of excellent seven-inch singles, a small clutch of compilation contributions, and features one previously unreleased song, “I Take It That We’re Through”, recorded in 1998. Part of the burgeoning international pop underground of the nineties, The Cat’s Miaow’s legend has only built over subsequent decades, as more people discover this most quixotic and curious of groups: a recent appearance on A Colourful Storm’s compilation of Australian indie-pop, I Won’t Have To Think About You, is testament to their enduring influence. In part emulating the selection of tracks on the 1997 CD-only compilation, Songs For Girls To Sing, Songs ’94-’98 is also the group’s first ever full-length 12” vinyl collection – and if you score a copy of the initial edition, there’s an extra 7” featuring all the songs from their “Third Floor Fire Escape View” recording session

you can really hear the g500 from the first bar of that sample track

i think i must have at least some of this, probably in that box of 7"s i haven't even opened for 15 years

I'll take the whole box off your hands if that is any indication of the type of other stuff inside.

this is the only thing i recognise on discos
