I have expanded this from a Fatima Mansions discography to covering the whole of Cathal Coughlan's recorded output, from Microdisney to his current solo career . I have very little along the lines of Microdisney in my collection, so any and all contributions will be appreciated.
Revisions since version 1.2: Tidied up a little; Microdisney: Details added for In This World, The Clock Comes Down the Stairs, "Dolly" 12", "Birthday Girl" 7" "Singer's Hampstead Home" 7" and cassette, "Gale Force Wind" 7"; Cathal Coughlan: The Sky's Awful Blue info updated; 4 Songs From the Album Grand Necropolitan added; compilation appearance added.

The other bands recorded that night and featured on the EP are NUN ATTAX (featuring the late DONNELLY, later of FIVE GO DOWN TO THE SEA, on vocals), URBAN BLITZ, MEAN FEATURES (featuring MICK LYNCH, later of STUMP, on vocals and Irish soap actor LIAM HEFFERNAN on guitar). The person who posted this info described "National Anthem" as sounding closer to the Mansions than the Microdisney studio recordings. Out of print.

Viva Dead Ponies (Kitchenware/[Inside title: Bugs Fucking Bunny]
LINE-UP: CATHAL COUGHLAN--Vocals, machinery, keyboards; HUGH BUNKER--
[Actual track layout for the UK CD:]
1. Angel's Delight (4:32); 2. Concrete Block (0:16); 3. Mr. Baby (2:53); 4. The Door-to-Door Inspector (4:13); 5. Start the Week (0:25); 6. You're a Rose (3:31); 7. Legoland 3 (0:26); 8. Thursday (3:38); 9. Ceaucescu Flashback (0:13); 10. Broken Radio #1 (4:38); 11. Concrete Block (0:25); 12. Look What I Stole For Us, Darling [Intro] (0:59); 13. Look What I Stole For Us, Darling (3:05); 14. Farewell Oratorio [to 0:08]/
The CD mastering job on this wasn't that great, since a few of the songs have a clunk in the first couple of seconds, but you can actually make out almost all of the lyrics to "Chemical Cosh" in this version, and "Thursday" is a mean little electropop number stamped from the same press as "13th Century Boy." Contains a lyric sheet handwritten by Cathal, with such wonderful listings as "Thursday: naah."
[Actual track layout for the North American CD:]
1. Angel's Delight (4:32); 2. Concrete Block (0:16); 3. Blues for Ceaucescu (6:17); 4. Legoland 3 (0:27); 5. Mr. Baby (2:53); 6. The Door-to-Door Inspector (4:13); 7. Start the Week (0:25); 8. You're a Rose (3:30); 9. Ceaucescu Flashback (0:13); 10. Broken Radio #1 (4:38); 11. Concrete Block (0:25); 12. Only Losers Take the Bus (3:05); 13. Look What I Stole For Us, Darling [Intro] (0:59); 14. Look What I Stole For Us, Darling (3:05) [Chops off the word "I'm" from the beginning]; 15. Farewell Oratorio [to 0:08]/
Apart from an improved mastering job (no digital noise), you also get a full-colour lyric booklet with an extra Lawrence Bogle illustration and a couple of photos, with all text hand-lettered in the style of the front cover. All in all, I like this version better, but if you become a big fan like I have, you have to get the original as well.
