Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine:  Straw Donkey... The Complete Singles

SIGNED by Jim Bob and Fruitbat

The year is 2026, the rollercoaster ride that was Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine has long since been shut down and covered in tarpaulin to make way for a 21st century theme park of bland pop.

Join Jim Bob and Fruitbat, as they take a retrospective look back at the complete Carter U.S.M. singles, from 1988 to 1997.

First released in 1995, ‘Straw Donkey’ is an essential introduction to Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine, featuring the U.K. Top 20 singles ‘The Only Living Boy In New Cross’, ‘After The Watershed (Early Learning The Hard Way)’, ‘Rubbish’, and ‘Lean On Me I Won’t Fall Over’, along with classics such as ‘Sheriff Fatman’, ‘Anytime Anyplace Anywhere’ and ‘Bloodsport For All’.

This newly expanded edition of ‘Straw Donkey’ also gathers up the band’s promotional singles for the first time: ‘Road Rage’, ‘Stuff The Jubilee! (Extra Special Radio Only Version)’, ‘Airplane Food’, ‘And God Created Brixton’, and ‘The Undertaker And The Hippy Protest Singer’.

Alongside the complete collection of singles on CD - newly remastered by Phil Kinrade at AIR Mastering - this set includes a DVD featuring a restored edition of the original 'Straw Donkey' video collection, enhanced with a brand-new audio commentary by Jim Bob and Fruitbat. Completing the package is a booklet packed with track-by-track notes with the stories behind the songs.
