 It's on 'Hindsight' and was the B-side of 'Almost With You'.
5. What period does the 'Hindsight' compilation cover?

 This might have confused UK fans - the band didn't really have any releases here as far back as 1980. But there is some really early stuff on this must-have collection.
6. More dates... What year was 'Starfish' released?

Answer: 1988

 The Church's commercial breakthrough album - happily, also one of their best musically.
7. 'The gluttonous wind keeps on nibbling the sail...' - a lyric from...

Answer: Shadow Cabinet

 Blinding lyric from one of the all-time best Church songs. There's an interesting theory about what a shadow cabinet is - something to do with old wine being kept in small, dark chests (hence Cabinet as in Cabinet Sauvignon etc.).
8. Which track from the 'Seance' album has Steve Kilbey said should probably not have been released as a single?

Answer: It's No Reason

He said this on the sleeve notes for 'Hindsight'.

 Much of the album was recorded in Stockholm. Marty speaks Swedish, as does Steve Kilbey. Marty also speaks Spanish. Peter Koppes is half Dutch (don't know if he speaks the lingo).

 Tim Powles is their current drummer. Waddy Watchell produced some albums and did occasional backing vocals.
