Song Of the Day: February 5, 2005
One of the weird blips on the indie radar in the early 90s was the brief re-emergence of the Postcard label. The Scottish indie, famous for releasing the works of Orange Juice, Josef K, Aztec Camera, and the Go-Betweens and generally spoken about in hushed, reverent tones started re-issuing some of the Orange Juice material. There was a singles comp called The Heather's On Fire, a re-issue of the "Blueboy" 45, and something called Ostrich Churchyard, recordings which would have made up the band's first LP had they not left for Polydor. Recorded live at the Hellfire Club in Glasgow, this take with it's brilliantly snotty guitar break, is to me preferable to the glossier version on their Rip It Up LP. Postcard then seemed to disappear as quickly as it had surfaced. Maybe we'll get that complete Postcard singles CD/double LP at some point...
