		Notes:
		A sticker on promo copies has a nice quote from the Chicago Tribune:
		
		"They sound like what would happen if Captain Beefheart and Tom Waits 
		started swapping stories at the circus."

		Promo copies also came with an information card inside:

		"TRASHMAN SHOES is the debut release from one of the most original 
		bands to ever come out of Austin, Texas.  With their unique combination 
		of cabaret rock 'n roll, bohemian lyrics and wild, over the edge performances, 
		Shoulders pull out all the stops for a carnival side show ride through the 
		dark heart of romance, despair, betrayal, redemption and hope.  A bona fide 
		hit throughout Europe (the album reached number two on the French rock charts), 
		TRASHMAN SHOES is now available in the U.S.  The album contains twelve original
		songs that showcase the band's many sides.  "Charm" and "Land of the Great 
		Destroyer" are aggressive pop songs with a decidely bent twist while "Whole Way
		To the Halfway House" and "Lula's Bar & Pool" bring to the forfront the band's
		raucous energy.  Listen to TRASHMAN SHOES and find out why Shoulders has been
		voted best Avant-Garde band three years in a row at the Ausitn Music Awards."


	1992 "Charm" CD-single [France only]
		Musidisc 109602

		1.  Charm		2.  Uncle Achin'	3.  Fare Thee Well

		Notes:
		CD has a nice cover picture which I haven't seen anywhere else, but all
		three tracks seem to be almost exactly the same as the album versions even
		though "Uncle Achin'" does seem to have a bit of added sound effects at the end.


	1992 "Borderline Tango"
		contributed to ACROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE - SONGS OF JO CAROL PIERCE
		Dejadisc DJD 3203

		Notes:
		Jo Carol Pierce is a local Austin singer/songwriter.
		Proceeds from the album benefited the Austin Rape Crisis Center.


	1994 "That's Life (live)"
		contributed to HOLE IN THE WALL - 20th ANNIVERSARY LIVE
		Maverick Records (no serial number on disc)

		Notes:
		The Hole In the Wall is a small club (really more of a pool bar) in 
		Austin, TX at which Shoulders played many of their earliest shows.
		For what it's worth, this was also the place where Timbuk 3 got started.


	1996 THE FUN NEVER STOPS (1993 [Europe?], 1996 [USA])
		[USA] self released CD - SD 001
		[Europe] ??? ???

		1.  Enter Dancing			8.  In the Likeness of God
		2.  The Fun Never Stops			9.  All Seamen's Ball
		3.  Mr. Troll Is Crying			10. Gladly Gone
		4.  Farmer Melancholy			11. Oddysey
		5.  Each Little Cannibal		12. Old Anxieties (Happy New Year)
		6.  My Offerings			13. Exit Dancing	
		7.  Rev. 14:11

		Notes:
		Inside cover gives email address to contact the band:  kasslatt@aol.com
		All songs on the album are copyrighted 1993.  I think this is because
		the album was released in Europe in 1993 and then not released in the
		USA until the band put it out themselves.
