McCarthy Sticker + First 250 copies include a reproduction copy of McCarthy's first 7" "InPurgatory" All three tracks have been remastered from the original master tapes and presented in a wraparound sleeve, just like the incredibly rare "Wall Of Salmon" original.
McCarthy just knew how to do pop right, there was no time for messing about, no solos, just verses and choruses and verses. The way God intended music to be. Not that they're into that god business. 'God Made the Virus' proves that point very clearly, what with its lyrics about punishing the wicked and plagues and the like.
Unlike a lot of reissues,I Am A Wallet kind of makes sense. It seems to be a lot less about making the group extra money, though of course that will have been the motivating factor, and more about courting new fans who might have heard the name whispered by some of their favourite groups in ye'olde New Musical Express. Rest In Peace (kind of).
As is mandatory of all reissues there are a fair few 'bonus tracks'. These have all seen the light of day in various forms over the years, but have been brought into one package for the first time here.You've got re-recorded versions of album tracks and original masters of old singles & stuff fans have never heard before, which this collection throws at us a grand total of 11 times. The standout of these extras, 'Kill Kill Kill', shows us a very different side to the band, one without restraint, the reverberated guitars and aggressive vocals hark back to that weird time when post punk coexisted with punk. It's ace, basically.
