Considered the "last ever" Cleaners From Venus release, My Back Wages is comprised primarily of songs written in 1992 while Martin Newell was quarantined with the Chicken Pox. While some songs made it onto Newell's The Greatest Living Englishman, many fell into obscurity, never to be released. This version of My Back Wages as issued by Captured Tracks, therefore, is Martin Newell's own 'producers cut' of oddities, out-takes and 'orphan songs'. Crane Drivers for instance, was made after a friend with a brand new Roland U20 keyboard, lent it to Newell for two days, challenging him to make a complete song using only the sounds contained within its pre-sets. Haunt Your House was a demo written for The Damned, who were short of songs for an album at that time. It was never used. Over 20 years later, Captured Tracks are thrilled to give Newell the chance to release this material on his own terms and put the Cleaners to rest once and for all.
