Reissue of the 1992 »Getting Older« 7-inch single. This vinyl release represents the first time either title has been in print on the format since its initial release.

Released posthumously after the band first split in late 1982, »Getting Older« was their humble attempt at a ›Wall Of Sound‹ style production, with overdubbed viola, trumpet, maracas, and drone guitar accompanied by backing vocals from Chris Knox and Martin Phillipps. The b-sides show the band at possibly their most experimental, with »Scrap Music« being two separate performances of the same instrumental laid over the top of each other with one panned from side to side. »Whatever I Do is Right/Wrong« features no guitar at all — a bold move from a band known for its inventive guitaring.
