Hot on the heels of their Postcard era Orange Juice compilation Domino Records are to release a Fire Engines compilation which compiles previously unreleased live recordings and studio outtakes from 1980 – ‘81. The track listing is:
1. Sympathetic Anaesthetic
2. Get Up And Use Me
3. Hungry Beat
4. Everything's Roses
5. The Untitled One (Codex sessions recorded by Wilf Smarties)
6. 12.01.81
7. Meat Whiplash
8. Discord
9. Get Up And Use Me
10. New Thing In Cartons
11. Plastic Gift
12. Hungry Beat (Live from Edinburgh, Valentinos, 09.08.81)
13. The Untitled One
14. Everything's Nothing
15. Discord (debut gig 16.03.80, Leith Community Centre, Edinburgh)
However it does not include the Peel Sessions and Fascist Groove Thing which was later covered by Heaven 17.
The band reformed for a couple of dates last year and will be playing on Sunday 11th September at Optimo, Sub Club, Glasgow and the following weekend at London's ICA. Tickets are £9 and £10 respectively.
The band had their released material compiled by Creation, on 1992's "Fond" which has been sadly out of print and fetches a few bob on e-bay so this release follows a much needed void and will help give Franz Ferdinand a few more ideas for their tunes. It will be released on September 26th 2005.

"However it does not include the Peel Sessions and Fascist Groove Thing which was later covered by Heaven 17"
It was the other way around, the heaven 17 bit, apologies for being pedantic.
