It's the start of the end. The last "proper" single from the original reign of ver Carpets. "Uniform" was the final single from their final album "Devil Hopping", before they broke up the following year, and it's lowly position of number 51 reflects the diminishing popularity of the band. It's not as if the single wasn't value for money with a great cover of "Paranoid" and several mixes and versions of tracks from the album. Bloody foul sleeve design though.
Remember life before Facebook, Twitter, My-Space and e-mail, and all the junk-mail record companies sent to you back in the 1990's to promote their artists and their latest single/album/tour/t-shirt etc? Here's my personal collection of it, along with flyers and other ephemera, all collected during the era of little cards you found in CD Singles and sent off by Freepost to some place in Leamington Spa.
