Pigs on Purpose

Richard Strange produced the album at Outlaw Studios in Birmingham over three days, on a very limited budget. Lloyd told Record Collector the songs were good but the recording sounds shabby now, and that he was straining to sing. The line-up was Paul Apperley on drums, Steve Hawkins on bass and vocals, Andy Lloyd and Nick Beales on guitars and vocals, and Robert Lloyd on vocals and mouth organ. It reached 15 on the UK indie chart. AllMusic gave it 4 of 5, the Rough Guide to Rock called it a summation of their live set but let down by a flat production, and Stewart Lee called the 2004 CD reissue the reissue of the year in the Sunday Times. The 2004 CD added "Inside Out", "Under the Lash", "Paraffin Brain", "Elvis the Last Ten Days", "Urban Ospreys" and "Cakehole".
