two new Carter CDs released

EMI released Anytime Anyplace Anywhere , a “best of” record featuring tracks from the band’s birth until their switch to Cooking Vinyl. This reportedly annoyed the band as they were not consulted or even made aware of the release of the record. In 2004 two new Carter CDs were released: a live album of BBC concerts from the early 1990s, and Brixton Mortars , a compilation album of tracks from their final two studio albums. In 2006, Carter released a new compilation of unreleased tracks and rarities called The Good, The Bad, The Average And Unique . Echoing the earlier Starry Eyed And Bollock Naked , the sleeve features a Volkswagen Beetle – this time a bright green new model convertible. Autumn 2007 saw the release of a band-authorised best of compilation album spanning their entire career on EMI, under the title, You Fat Bastard . The title came from a chant performed by the crowd at gigs. It originated from MC (and lighting man) Jon “Fat” Beast’s topless on-stage band introductions. Jon “Fat” Beast died on 27 July 2014.
