Ever since the Factory Sampler, which I have somewhere in storage, I've loved John Dowie's hilarious songs. Thank you so much for these! Now if I could only find MP3s of "Acne," "Idiot," and "Hitler's Liver."

Heh, John Dowie is my dad and I didn't even here half these songs until just now. I've got a whole stack of vinyls in my room, must do something with them someday.

Eventually - I found a source for a good copy of Mr John Dowie's 'British Tourist' which I had digitalized from an old rotten cassette lying around in a car I bought in the early eighties.
Thanks a lot for putting this on. (jumpingforjoy)
Cheers

Thank you for putting these on the web! We had this ep but my evil husband took it with him (ironically to Holland) when we split up.
So good to hear Time Warp and Jim Callaghan again and remember happier less pc times.
