3 - Datacrime

Cat No. CDCUBAN01
Label - EMI

After many delays over sample clearance, the John Peel favourite "Cognoscenti Vs. Intelligentsia" made it's appearance in record stores on December 13th,1999. After a week it had sold over 100,000 copies and made it to number 4 in the UK charts. Sampling the old Roger Miller song, "Whistlestop", the song is sure to inspire countless shoddy imitators. Tracks 2 and 3 remain exclusive to this single. A 12" vinyl format was issued in Europe, featuring an extra "Shuffle mix" of "C Vs. I"

2 - Inertia Kicks (Fuchsiarama Mix)
3 - Czar Zoo
4 - My Clone (Blue)
5 - The Tainted Man

Cat No. SKRCD050
Label - Stone The Kubist

Delays seem to feature heavily in the Cubans work ethic, and this long-awaited single finally made it's appearance in June 2000. Packaged in a semi-3D plastic football sleeve, the gimmicky artwork was designed to point out the fact that the song, with it's chorus of "We're just a bunch of losers", was the Cuban Boys unofficial Euro 2000 anthem. As the single was a limited edition on the band's own label, chart success was not an option, so five songs were included. "Czar Zoo" and "My Clone" appeared in very different forms to the versions on the 'eastwood' album, with "The Tainted Man" as an exclusive extra.

Label - EMI

After months of delay, the Cuban Boys' album was smuggled out of the pressing plant in a small wheel-barrow, at night, hidden under a large blanket. Overall, nearly every illegal sample had been re-recorded to the point of absurdity, and although the album was met with the odd shout of 'hoorah!' it wasn't quite the beast the band had hoped for. Not many copies were pressed, not many copies were sold - but that probably makes it even more of a collectors' item?
