Do You Remember 'The Sheep Are Nervous?'

During that time they performed 30 gigs at the University and in Lancaster including three appearances at the Sugar House.  In May 1988 they released an album as a cassette (before the introduction of CDs) entitled Nervous Breakdown - The Lancaster Years, which featured 14 tracks. Anyone studying or working at Lancaster University during that time would probably have heard of the band as they were frequently in SCAN, the student newspaper, and  the gigs were well publicised with humorous posters scattered around the campus. To mark the 25th anniversary, the album is now available on iTunes, Google Music, Spotify and other web music services under the Mighty Fine Music label. If anyone remembers and enjoyed the music it can now be obtained in a current format!
