Lost in Fishponds

The Famous Five, some years after this 1994 recording, changed their name to Spiro, with the same line-up, which they still have to this day.
I believe this was their first commercial recording. It was on audio cassette so it’s probably difficult to get hold of now and may be a collector’s item. As far as I know, there isn’t a version on CD.
The track titles have several personal and local allusions - for instance, Fishponds is a part of Bristol to the east, Chard is a town in Somerset, and The Robin Hood is a Bristol pub well-known in its day for sessions.
