    I have the "Official Colourbox World Cup Theme" with the delightful
    Jimmy Hill'y sleeve in my possession. It came out in 1986 just before
    the world cup (predictably enough).

    Oh, yeah, I forgot that one.  Sorry.  The CD release of "Colourbox"
    has the 12" version of "The Official..." on it.  It's a lot better
    than the game it represents, that's for sure....8^)
    
    Ian!

    My personal favorite on the Colourbox CD.
    
    "Baby I Love You So" 12"                 
    
    Could well be one of the BEST songs ever recorded...
    
    

    
    Side lines to this note:
    
    	A.R.Kane, as mentioned in the base note, have released their
    debut album, entitled `Sixty-nine'.  Not bad stuff at all.  Shades
    of the quieter(?) side of the Mary Chain.  Worth a listen.

    Lots of other Colourbox stuff
    I think this could be complete.
    		
    
    			Breakdown (version 1)   12 inch
    			Breakdown (version 2)   12 inch
    			Colourbox mini L.P (horse sleeve)
    			Just give em whiskey / Shy one horse  12 inch
    			Colourbox Album ( Initial copies came with free
    					  dub album)
                 	The official Colourbox world cup theme  12 inch
    			Baby I love you so   12 inch
     The last two were both released on the same day!!
    
     There is also a Colourbox track on the 4AD compilation album entitled
     "Hot Doggie".
    
     So there you go. I think thats the whole lot, then again I may
     be wrong

    Great stuff, thanx peeps.  The only remaining question is, Are
    Colourbox Still Making Music?  Or, to put it another way, What Is
    Steven Young up to now?  Anybody know?  I finally plucked up the
    courage to invest in This Mortal Coil's "Filigree & Shadow", on
    which S.M. Young is credited fairly frequently, but of course that's
    not exactly a new album, so has the man turned his hand to any other
    artistes of late?

    The Young brothers are up an running and doing music for films and
    T.V. adverts (so I believe )
    
    No immediate plans for any record out-put.

    There are two Colourbox CD's out, both entitled "COLOURBOX" (shades of
    Peter Gabriel) or they may use their 4AD serial nos. as titles (shades
    of Yes).  The first CD is the first album plus songs like "Fast Dump",
    "Edit the Dragon" etc (basically what was on the "dub" album). The
    second CD features most of the "Horses Fucking" release, plus the
    "Official Colourbox World Cup Theme".  There are too many 12"s to name,
    and most of them have great b-sides.  One that I -know- wasn't
    mentioned was the "record three" 12" which has something I can't
    remember on it... there's also the "Say You" 12"...
    
    Colourbox are the balls.  Long live sequencers and 16th-note bass
    lines!
    
    Speaking of 4AD, what DOES "4AD" mean, anyway?

     complete with barking dogs
     and coke machines"

    > Speaking of 4AD, what DOES "4AD" mean, anyway?

    I may be wrong, but I recently saw 4AD typed "4 A.D.", which I assume
    means "4 Anno Domini" (or something like that), which would imply that
    the record company was formed 4 years after the birth of Christ...  ;-)

    I recently found a 4 A.D. sampler CD that contained a Cocteau Twins
    song called "Crushed" (I think).  Does anyone have this CD?  Can anyone
    tell me anything about the song "Crushed" (like, is the song available
    on any other CD?).

    Thanks,
    John

    
    Re: `Crushed': All the songs on the `lonely...' compilation were
    recorded solely for that album, apart from one of the Dead Can Dance
    tunes.  None of them appear anywhere else.  There is a Video of
    the album though, quite readily available, if you'd like a rare
    glimpse of the Cocteaus.
