The band called their album '1977'
because not only was it was the year Tim and Mark were born and also it
was the year Star Wars was released.

When the band say limited edition release,
they mean it. 'Jack Names The Planets' is still floating around independant
collectors shops fetching very high prices so keep your eye out for it.
As for 'Get Ready', you can order it from Fantastic Plastic on 01247 811786.

Yes, in their early days Ash were known
as Vietnam, when they were around 14-15yrs old. Tim says "we were together
for two years with the band Vietnam, embarrassing ourselves everywhere
we went, yet we persevered and remained true to our twisted vision. "

Mushroom Records, which Ash are signed
to in Australia, sold the rights to play their artists to such soaps as
Home And Away. Such acts include Garbage and erm..Peter Andre. During
Ash's invasion of Australia last year, the soaps picked up on their music
and appeal and frequently played them on their youth oriented shows. Also
during this time, there was a rumour that the actress who plays Chloe in
Home And Away was sniffing round Tim..hmmm.

The original UK video, a cross betwen
"Give It Away" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the "Natrel Plus" TV ad,
was shot on a windy day at Camber Sands. A paint-splattered Ash looked
to enjoy it, but Rick found it completely demeaning. When the single was
released in the US some 16 months later, the band decided to enlist the
help of the Foo Fighter's Big Me video director to create a more dignified
and intelligent video- apparently.
