I think you would be surprised just how well known globally Eater are... and let's just say the UK is not the only country this record is being released. Sure, not in the same quantities the original records were pressed up in... not yet anyway.
Don't know if there will be a Bandcamp page at this stage.

...so far i have heard two songs. The new mixes are FAR warmer in depth of tone, punchier... with guitar dubs that got left off the original release from 77. To Andy Blade, it was not how it should have sounded at all, like it was unfinished... more like a backing track. Any idea if there will be a vinyl release?

Yes... the single and the album are both vinyl releases. No plans for CD pressings of either.

...dunno mate ...but i can ask - i am still waiting to be told the tracklisting/running order.
As it was not on the original album and i think Andy Blade likes the mix on that single, perhaps not

Ged's review.... There was a similarly titled autobiography published by Cherry Red in 2006, now out-of-print, but this is a new, updated, longer version of the story. More photos, 10 by 7 inch hardback and funnier and more outrageous than ever. Rotten, Strummer, Scabies, Shelley, Weller, Idol, Sid… everyone makes an appearance… and Blade pulls no punches. Despite what every other punk rock writer and critic will tell you, this is the best book about punk rock in England 1976-78. No question. It has to be. The fucker was there, right in the middle of it – before ‘it’ had a name -and he was a weirdo school-kid fantasist, obsessed with sex and drugs and rock’n’roll…. the same as the rest of us (at the time or years later at the same age) who bought the records or experienced later generational/regional variants thereof. His band. Eater, recorded the third proper UK punk-rock single after New Rose and Spiral Scratch, Outside View, which gives this hardback book its title. Because they were young and naive, but newsworthy (a 14 year-old cutie called Dee Generate as a drummer who became an teenage-girl-mag pin-up) bands like the Damned and Stranglers and even Strummer were supportive as Eater were not considered to be a threat to them as musicians. When I reviewed the no longer available Cherry Red edition back in 2006, I wrote this, all of which still applies, but this edition has loads more photos and more juicy details….

It's arrived - quite an upgrade on the earlier version, at least in terms of photos, plus it's a hardback I'll report back when I've read it
