Guitar Noir

First released on Permanent Records on the 17th May 1993, pencilled in for a release on the 10th of May 1993 and in some circles a release date of the 21st March is mooted. But new information from a press kit attached to a three song sampler suggests first the 10th then the 17th May as being the release dates.
