Starry Eyed and Bollock Naked
Starry Eyed and Bollock Naked (A Collection of B-Sides) was the first b-side collection by Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine. It was released in March 1994 and reached 22nd place on the UK charts. The album artwork features an orange Volkswagen Beetle.
However, the compilation strategically omits all the b-sides that the band recorded as cover versions [which would necessitate this release being a 2CD version]: "Everybody's Happy Nowadays" (Buzzcocks) which appeared on the 12" of "Sheriff Fatman"; "Rent" (Pet Shop Boys), which appeared on the 12" of "Rubbish"; "Alternate Title" and "Randy Sarf Git" (The Monkees) from the 12" of "Anytime Anyplace Anywhere"; "Bedsitter" (Soft Cell) from "Bloodsport For All"; "Panic" (The Smiths) from "The Only Living Boy In New Cross"; "King Rocker" (Generation X), "Mannequin" (Wire) and "Down In The Tube Station At Midnight" (The Jam), all from "Do Re Me So Far So Good"; and "Hit" (The Sugarcubes), from "Lean On Me I Won't Fall Over" most of which appear on the 2007 compilation "This Is the Sound of an Eclectic Guitar-A Collection of Other People's Songs".
