Now I’m pretty handy with the old wallpapering, so I wasn’t too concerned about this part (ignoring the fact that I had a camera crew recording every cock up, and an expert from Dulux checking in every now and then to ‘see how I was doing’. But we did notice how easily the satin went on, how quickly it dried and how little smell it left – we’ll definitely be using it again.Īnd so, with everything else done, we had the final stage to go. Next was the woodwork – for us just the one window sill which was already glossed, so just a dead easy freshening overcoat. We used every last dreg, but ended with a nice finish once it had dried (which it had done by the time we’d finished eating our lunch). The paint went on well (the walls were already plain painted plaster, so a good surface to work on), and the tin was enough to cover one coat, then go round and touch up with a skimpy second coat where needed. We got cracking with the painting first – obviously no need to paint the wallpaper wall, so three walls only. By this stage I was actually thinking I could totally do the room in a day – up to this point I had scoffed at the idea, always presuming I needed to clear 2 or 3 days to redecorate just one room. Actually, cutting it down to those few items makes it all seem much more manageable, and far less of a huge undertaking. Presuming you already have a paint roller & tray, paste table and wallpaper hanging equipment, you really do have everything you need for your room in one box. On cracking open the Bedroom In A Box I was really pleased with the contents: aside from the magnificent Avengers wall covering I had brushes, wallpaper paste, colour co-ordinated wall paint (‘First Dawn’, a really nice shade of blue), and white satin for the woodwork too. The wooden skirting boards and doorframe are only oiled, so no painting needed there which would speed up the process. So we stripped out everything (yikes, one boy can stash a LOT of stuff down the back of his bed…), filled the holes left behind when we moved the curtain poles last year, and scrubbed clean the windowsill. In 2012 Water Music Records re-released the compilation as a 2-CD set, with the first CD containing the 14 tracks of the original vinyl release, and the second CD containing additional demo and live recordings of the era.Not hideous, but not exactly a 10yr old boy’s Perfect Room, either. In 2010, CD Presents re-released the album through online music stores such as iTunes Store and Amazon MP3 and on CD only through featuring four alternate takes although this release appears to have been pulled due to a rights issues from Penelope Houston. Sometime by 2003, singer Penelope Houston was selling CD-R copies of the album on her website. In 2000, Lady Butcher released the album on CD with 10 bonus tracks that were recorded live at the Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles, California, in August 1978. The first re-release came when the album was first released on cassette by CD Presents with two more tracks the 1989 release on CD included the same bonus tracks. The album has been re-released multiple times over the years. The album includes some songs previously released, including all of the songs from the We Are the One EP, two songs from the Avengers EP (as well as other songs recorded during the EP's sessions) and both songs from the "Paint it Black" single. It is the closest thing to a studio album the band has, although it was compiled by drummer Danny Furious from various recordings the band did in their three years of existence. It was released on vinyl in 1983 by CD Presents. Avengers is a compilation album by the American punk group Avengers.
