SILVERFISH DISCOGRAPHY

SINGLES

SILVERFISH EP/DOLLY PARTON EP
(WIIJIT4) 1989, Wiija
(Note, there is a limited edition silver vinyl version around!)
Dolly Parton EP
1.Dolly Parton
2.On The Motorway
3.Weird Shit
4.Don't F**k

Original single from the demos! Loud as you like and quite easy to find! Burnin!
(PS It's not got stars in the ACTUAL title, but web hosts are rubbish....)

T.F.A. EP
(WIJ5) 1989, Wiija
Silverfish - Total Fuckin Arsehole
1.Total F***ing Arsehole
2.Die
3.Driller

Silverfish never mucked about with the old song titles did they!
Recorded at Southern Studios and harder than a pitbull terrier in concrete body armour......

FU**IN' DRIVIN' OR WHAT...EP
(CRE113T, CRESCD113) 1991, Creation
Fuckin Drivin Or What
1.Big Bad Baby Pig Squeal
2.Puppy Truck
3.Texas Tea

My favourite track off Organ Fan, with the hook line "Hips, Tits, Lips, Power!" hence the many, many T-shirts around at the time!
Incidentally, if anyone feels like sending me photos of a silverfish t-shirt, that'd be good!

SILVERFISH WITH SCRAMBLED EGGS EP
(CRESCD118, CRE188T) 1992, Creation
Silverfish With Scrambled Eggs EP
1.Crazy
2.Jimmy
3.Vitriola
4.Jenny

My favourite single, on Creation (see everyone forgets there were bands like Silverfish and Swervedriver on Creation.....it wasn't all Ride and the terminally over-loved Oasis!), starts with this lilting vocal then goes off on one.....
Add a cover of a French porn movie theme tune and there we are! Smashing.

DAMN FINE EP
(Crescd138, Cre138, Cre138t) 1992, Creation
Silverfish - Damn Fine Woman EP
1.Damn Fine Woman
2.Scrub Me Mama (With That Boogie Beat) (Live at the grand, london, 17.12.1992)
3.Petal (Live at the grand, london, 17.12.1992)
4.FSWTGA (Live at the grand, london, 17.12.1992)

The last single......
Decent live versions of three tracks. Not as powerful as the live tracks on the Sausage Factory album, but damn good.
The 7" had the lead track and a live version of "Sucking Gas".
