The
seventeenth edition of YHO was a celebration of Saint Jack by The Nectarine No. 9.
Originally released in 1995 by Postcard Records of Scotland, after many
years out of circulation, it was made available on We Can Still Picnic, the
digital imprint of the Creeping Bent Organisation. It seemed like a fun idea to put together
something that caught the spirit of what Davy Henderson and his gang were doing
on that record. The cover was an old
photo of the Nectarine No. 9 brothel in Yokohama. As for the title? Where
Frownland meets Poundland, perhaps?
There’s
quite a lot of quotes and lyrics cut up and scattered throughout this short
booklet. Among those unwittingly
contributing are:

Fran Landesman
