As you'd expect from Sundae Club's policy of Continual Improvement,
'British Summer Time' contains a few surprises. Sundae Club takes you
on a Journey across Continents with their Travel Trilogy; savour the
wholesome meaty goodness (chicken if you're vegetarian) of 'Pies';
spot the Bev Bevan drum solo in 'Honey Bee'; marvel as a moonlighting
electrician from the Midlands ignores New Labour's green policy on
tungsten light bulb usage and get slightly miffed as the new people
move in to the flat above. It's all here. Rather different, but the
same arsenal of lovely old keyboards, the trusty Mellotron together
with a few more guarantee the Sundae Club Sound.

Simply click on the banner at the top of our Myspace page. You will
then be taken to our new British Summer Time page for simple download
instructions.

We hope you enjoy your World of Music more than ever, ever before.

PS: Any future hard-media versions will be different from this version
with bonus tracks, splendid packaging, other geegaws and of course
immaculate audio quality. A few samples on this version have kindly
been given the nod for the free download, but would be far too
difficult to get cleared for a charged-for version. We'd also
appreciate any feedback from you to assess whether there'd be a demand
for a black 12" plastic round version. That's 30cm in new money.
