Design by Tambourine Design.

The first 100 copies contain Track 16 Special Features which is a live track recorded at Mic in Hand comedy night, Friend in Hand Hotel, Sydney September 2004. 100 copies featuring special coloured barcode (made up of my mobile number at the time) but no live track were produced for Tripod tour of regional W.A. 2005.

Folkstar has has had three different incarnations. In the original pressing of 100 I am speaking the vocals. In the next 500 I am rapping the vocals but without the presence of double bass (Pooglet 78″ Mix) in the current rendition I am rapping with double bass (Pooglet With Strings Mix). The latest version of In Bed With My Doona also features a remixed version of Heart Song and updated lyrics in McRock. (I wasn’t convinced that Sick Puppies were still relevant so I updated it to End Of Fashion. Naturally, since then Sick Puppies have made a comeback and are probably more popular than End Of Fashion. Ah, the joys of committing pop culture commentary to disc.)

You’re So Vague was removed from several CD versions of album due to me freaking out that I might get sued for parodying Carly Simon’s You’re So Vain without seeking permission. (This would so not have happened and I blame my legal-aid friend in Hobart for putting the fear into me). The track is restored on all digital versions.

CD artwork shows incorrect track listing changed on purpose at the last minute by suggestion of then girlfriend. (The above listing is correct). Only 500 CD copies were ever produced, especially for my Melbourne Comedy Festival debut show (of the same name) in 2003. A box of 100 was lost in transit between Sydney and Melbourne and could be under a house at 45 Burke St, Blacktown where I was living with my nine year old cousin, her mother and grandmother.
