The Boy From the Plantation (chorus), A Billion Balconies Facing the Sun (verse) and Masses Against the Classes all have the same chords in the music (more or less)

Moved house on Monday (traumatic). Unpacking cds today I have discovered I
have 3 copies of Masses. No idea how or why I acquired so many copies!

 Its naff but I still like it and I like the sentiment in the lyrics, they have a manics quality during their more earnest moments. Fight me.

This may have been posted before, but I stumbled across this 1992 gig broadcast on German TV the other day:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg56CF5B0VM Highlights include a completely different guitar solo in Little Baby Nothing, a slightly bizarre interview with Richey and Nicky halfway through, James absolutely shredding the extended outro to You Love Us and Nicky taking the piss out of the band for not playing Motorcycle Emptiness live!

Don't know if this was mentioned already, but this sad news appeared on my news feed just now.
