Envelope, Nigel
Grierson, Danger Video and Arthur Parker. VAD703 is a video. All
the songs are the same as the other formats, except that the version
of «Fish» is different. CAD703D is a limited edition of 10000 with
some extra artwork. CAD703X is a deluxe limited edition wooden box
(100 of them exists) containing all the different editions of Lonely
Is An Eyesore and some additional prints. About the box: 30 were
released for sale (200 pounds each directly from 4AD), 70 were given
away to the bands, distibutors of 4AD material and others. The prints
were rather expensive, bringing the cost of production of the box up
to 500 pounds. There are two prints, one 15x20 cm (etching) by Jinny
m'Garrity, where small details differ from box to box. The other is
larger, 100x200cm (by Terry Dowling), printed on rice paper. The
prints were wrapped in a sealed plastic-like paper. During the end
titles on the video, an instrumental version of «Oomingmak» is
played. This can also be found on the 10 Disc CD Collection. «Hot
Doggie» samples from the films «Lifeforce» («Here I go», «be with me»
& «Close your eyes, I love you»), «Evil Dead» («You will die, lover
boy» & «one by one» + the chainsaw), «The Last Starfighter» («Soon
the frontier will be down etc») and «2000 Maniacs» («Let's hear some
music» & «We've got us some goods»).
