Title : Zip up your Boots fro the Showbands Catalog : Jerk 001 Release Date : August '96 Label : Kneejerk Records Zip up your Boots was originally put together by the Dead Elvis, blunt and Independent labels to coincide with "In the city", an annual industry schmooze fest which found it's way to Dublin. The intention was to show there was more to Dublin then bands chasing huge record deals and dreaming of expense accounts in Lillies Bordello. With this in mind we recieved some funding from The Irish Trade Board and put the whole thing together in a week. During "In the city" the album was given away at gigs. Then it was put on sale at a ridicolously low price. However we did mess up on our alternative packaging, the ultra thin plastic wallet made it fall off the shelfs in shops and was impossible for journalists to find in their stack of free CD's.
