Earl Brutus are Nick Sanderson (Clock DVA, Jesus And Mary Chain, World Of Twist), Gordon King and Jim Fry (World Of Twist), Rob Marche (JoBoxers, Subway Sect) with Shins and Stuart Boreman. Earl Brutus achieved notoriety and cult status with the release of their debut album Your Majesty... We Are Here. Their attention grabbing interviews and gigs attracted wider interest and they signed to Island Records via Fruition. They released a second long player, Tonight You Are The Special One, and several singles. The band continued to play chaotic shows and the last ever gig was at Hammersmith Working Men's Club on 7th April 2004 and the last track from that gig, Teenage Taliban, is included on this edition along with a demo recorded in William Reid's (Jesus And Mary Chain) front room. Other bonus tracks include all the single b-sides sequenced by the band. The art direction on this re-issue has been done by Scott King who realized the concepts for the original release and singles. The album sleeve is included in Q magazine's 100 Best Album Sleeves Of All Time in 2001.
