Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine: Worry Bomb Box Set 3CD / 1DVD, clamshell box with fold-out poster.

Signed by Jim Bob and Fruitbat.

Released in 1995, ‘Worry Bomb’ was Carter USM’s fifth album and their fourth in a row to break into the top ten of the UK album charts. It would also be the first to feature their new drummer, Wez, marking a shift away from the famous drum machine sound. The album mixed things up musically, balancing mellow acoustic tracks like ‘My Defeatist Attitude’ with Carter’s signature high-energy indie rock, including ‘Let’s Get Tattoos’ and ‘The Young Offenders Mum’ which both hit the UK top 40.

To mark the 30th anniversary of the album, ‘Worry Bomb’ is reissued for the first time. Featuring the original album newly remastered on CD 1 (including the singles ‘Let’s Get Tattoos’ and ‘The Young Offender’s Mum’), a new collection of B-sides and rarities on CD 2, ‘Avon Calling!’ - a newly restored and remastered recording of the band at the Phoenix Festival on CD 3, and a DVD with music videos, a performance of ‘Let’s Get Tattoos’ from Top Of The Pops’, and exclusive new interview featurettes with Jim Bob and Fruitbat.

Newly remastered by Phil Kinrade at AIR Mastering and pressed on 180g translucent green (LP1) and black (LP2) vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve with poly-lined inner bags.
