Following their debut album Blue Orchids acted as Nico's back-up band and recorded a number of songs perhaps originally intended for her. Four of them were released on the "Agents Of Change" 12". Those tracks are compiled here on vinyl for the first time with two previously unreleased tracks. "The Unknown" comes from around the same time as the "Agents Of Change" EP, and "Sleepy Town" is an early version of a song which was later a 12" 45 side. Despite promises, Rough Trade US, in a period of chaos and confusion, somehow failed to release any of this material in America. So for the first time ever, Blue Orchids offer an actual domestic release, with cover art by acclaimed artist Leka Mladenovic, whose work with Vic Godard of Subway Sect has been the subject of several gallery exhibitions.
