'i told you i was freaky' is, among a great many other things, a genre-tripping tour de force and includes three songs from the second series of the show which are otherwise as yet unreleased ('rambling through the avenues of time,' 'too many dicks (on the dance floor)' and 'you don't have to be a prostitute').\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50448165732683,"sku":"319265","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/c2d95eaa-df56-41aa-8e47-ea23dd2cac05_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727087317"},{"product_id":"flight-of-the-concords","title":"Flight Of The Concords","description":"\u003cp\u003eReissue!
