The Glasgow School, released by Domino in 2005, gathers the four Postcard singles, most of Ostrich Churchyard, an alternate Simply Thrilled Honey and a Nu-Sonics cover of the Ramones' I Don't Care. All of it was recorded between 1978 and 1981, before the band signed to Polydor. Alexis Petridis gave it five stars in the Guardian. Scott Plagenhoef of Pitchfork called the Postcard recordings shambolic, charming and seminal.
