The Electropathics' 1987 album "Batteries not Included" has now been re-released as a digital download. It includes a bonus track, a cover of the Kinks' "Harry Rag" improbably combined with a morris tune, which was originally recorded for the BBC's Children in Need Appeal the same year.

It is currently available from CD Baby and should soon also be available from other download websites, including Amazon, iTunes and Spotify.

The Electropathics were one of the most popular bands to come out of the English ceilidh movement of the 1980s. Equally at home playing for dances or on the concert stage, they were in demand for events throughout the country, and performed at most of the leading ceilidh clubs and folk festivals. The album contains a lively and quirky mix of traditional and modern folk songs and tunes, Sacred Harp hymns and 1930s variety, reflecting the band's lively style and eclectic influences

Thanks Howard, still one of my favourite albums. I saw and heard the band at Sidmouth and sought out the original album.
I buy CDs and don't trust computers but I may learn how to do downloads for this one!
