BIRDLAND UK DISCOGRAPHY

  

Birdland Hollow Heart seven inch

 EP1: Hollow Heart

7" (Lazy 13) A: Hollow Heart B: Sugar Blood
12" (Lazy 13T) A: Hollow Heart / Crystal / Gotta Getaway B: Sugar Blood.

Possibly only 1000 7"s pressed? The 12" was released in three different colour schemes: yellow, purple, red. None seem particularly rarer than the rest. The artwork for the two formats is different, a marketing ploy the label would persist with over future releases.
Birdland Paradise seven inch
 EP2: Paradise

7" (Lazy 14) A: Paradise B: White
12" (Lazy 14T) A: Paradise B: Rage / White

The b-side of the 12" plays 'White' before 'Rage'. See the oddities section for the 'mispressed' 4-track 12". The 7" sleeve features Lee and Kyle; the 12" Robert and Simon. Early copies of the 12" came with a poster.

one-sided 12" (LAZY 16T)

Recorded at Bath Moles Club on 11/09/89, this one-sided live album was given away free to those attending the October tour. 10,000 copies pressed. Trivia note: according to one ex-member of the Birdland management team, a B-side was originally considered.
