This comes in response to a post at Phoenix Hairpins. Offered with little info is this sole album release by British band Long Pig. I guess they skirted the Batcave scene, somewhat. Looking forward to more info from Gary, the band's drummer. The track "Batsong" credits the Venomettes, and the album is produced by Punk icon Jimmy Pursey. Get it here.

Another band I know little about. There is a great track they do, Gimmick, which is on the sampler Hicks from the Sticks, posted by Curious Guy. I was prompted to track down their sole single, which you can grab here. Indie styled release distributed by Rough Trade. The gate folded sleeve has a stapled flap to hold the record. A-side is not so hot, though the B-side has a little promise. Oh well. I'm still glad I have it. Sometimes the satsfaction comes in the completion of a discography, even if there is little else of merit.
