is a mini-album (released on 10-inch vinyl) by
Models . It was released in June
1981 . The album started off as demo recordings, which proved so successful that they were released just before the group went to England to record their second album proper,
Local And/Or General . is generally regarded as the Models release most influenced by
Post-punk and
Dub , and least by conventional
Pop Music . Apart from "Atlantic Romantic", which had been a live favourite of the group for a number of years, the songs were freshly composed: their lyrics are particularly difficult to understand, and remain confusing even now.
A promotional
Music Video was released for the album, which combined videos for brief excerpts of each of the tracks (including a crude home-made
Claymation video for "Germ") with vox pop interviews conducted by the band members in the streets of
Melbourne . No single was released from the album, although "Two Cabs To The Toucan" was given radio airplay and was promoted on
Countdown .
