TRAPDOOR SWING + DUMB LUCK CHARM (BOUCD 6613) £10
Formed by Dave Jackson and Becky Stringer from the ashes of lauded Liverpool indie-popsters The Room, Benny Profane went on to explore darker musical territory over the two albums released in 1989 and 1990, both of which are included on this expanded CD. Carefully remastered by drummer/guitarist Joe McKechnie (who also played in The Passage), the set also features two tracks from the first Benny Profane demo in 1985, featuring guest Will Sergeant of Echo and the Bunnymen on guitar. Enhanced artwork with band images and text by Dave Jackson, 22 tracks, 75 minutes of music. Full tracklist: Man on the Sauce, Skateboard to Oblivion, Pink Snow, Quickdraw McGraw Meets Deadeye Dick, A Handful of Nothing, Rob a Bank, Tear the Web, Wall to Wall, Stitch That, Here Comes the Floor, Time Bomb, Hey Waste of Space, Maureen, Beam Me Up, Devil Laughing, Walk Away Macbeth, Ghoul Friend, Perfect Girl, SHC, Everything, Vain Profane, Credulous as Hell.

Reviews: "They may have taken four years to release their first album Trapdoor Swing, but it was well worth the wait. Both albums stand the test of time and are just as strong as anything that James, the Mighty Lemon Drops or any of the more highly-touted contemporaries were releasing. A very pleasant listen indeed" (Exclaim!, 5/2006)
