What an oddity Cud were. Starting out with a lumpy and awkward sound but striving for something more cerebral and uplifting.
'Only (A Prawn In Whitby)' was a single extracted from the side-long indie-opera that graced their 'When In Rome, Kill Me' album.
It's reputedly about chancing upon uber-Vegetarian Morrissey enjoying the seafood on the Yorkshire coast (though it turns out to "have been a lookalike" sadly).
The song lurches and jerks at a dizzying pace, Wedding Present-esque guitar jangle fighting with cello, breakneck drumming and Carl Puttnam's earnest croon.

Thanks for posting this, and the previous one. I used to love Cud. I haven't heard this for years.
