Long awaited third album, originally set to be titled A DOG'S NOT JUST FOR XMAS and featuring one of Knox's paintings - of a dog being pulled along in the snow by a pillar box. These ideas were rejected by the distribution company Plastic Head. For more details, see Knox's introductory piece to the 2007 Polish CD re-issue of Wipeout Beach.
