This is the discography of the Meanies Singles!
(some comments taken from ANDA-160 "The Meanie Of Life")


Darkside Of My Mind / Meanie Way / You're Pathetic 7" ANDA-121
"Darkside..." was one of the first songs we ever learnt.
Released October 1990. 500 only. Deleted.
Produced and engineered by Michael 'Ded' Kennedy and us at Recordio.
The Reason Why / Groovie Meanies / Don't Smile 7" ANDA-126
"The Reason Why" is about as close as we've ever come to a ballad.
Released November 1990. 750 only. Deleted.
Produced and engineered by Ded and us at Recordio, exept "Groovie Meanies" which we did at Stable with A.O'B.
Lyin' / The Meanie Twist / I'm Amazed 7" ANDA-125
"Lyin'" is one of our favourites. It got some tasty reviews, too, and you've gotta be happy with that.
Released January 1991. 750 only. Deleted.
Produced and engineered by Ded at Recordio.
Paranoid / What Am I To Do? / Welcome Back To Me 7" ANDA-127
Finally we released a single that didn't have a song with Meanie in it's title on it. It did have "Meanie Surprise" listed on the cover, but that's exactly all it was - a Meanie "Surprise!". Quite silly, realy.
Released March 1991. 1000 only. Deleted.
Produced and engineered by Ded and us at Recordio.
Never / Steve Sex God / Sorry 'Bout The Violence 7" ANDA-130
This was supposed to be released in advance of the "Come 'n' See" album. But Ringo went overseas and we couldn't release the album without Ringo. We had a bunch of new songs we wanted to record so we went and did "Gangrenous".
Released May 1991. 1500 only. Deleted.
Side A produced and engineered by Ded at Silkwood. Side B by A.O'b and us at Stable Sound.
Probe TV / Record Sale / Macho Wankers 7" ANDA-131
This was a single given away at a gig in Sydney and one in Melbourne. "Probe TV" is one of our oldest songs. "Record Sale" is about something we hate - the death of vinyl.
Released June 1991. 1000 only. Deleted.
Produced and engineered by A.O'B and us at Stable Sound, exept "Macho Wankers" recorded live at the Tote Hotel by Ded; and produced by Ded and Simon Grounds at Simon's house.
Scum / The Meanie Way / Groovie Meanies 7" SFTRI-141
Released August 1991 on Sympathy For The Record Industry in the USA. 1500 copies, red or white vinyl.
"Scum" was produced and engineered by Ded at Silkwood. See elsewhere for the other two.
Inside / Steve Sex God / Record Sale 7" LR-002
This Canadian played noticably slow, but it got some good reviews overseas. Maybe we should've taken a hint.
Released January 1992 on Lance Records in Canada. 1000 only (including 22 yellow vinyl copies). Deleted.
"Inside" was produced and engineered by Ded and us at Silkwood. See elsewhere for the other two.
Them / Mantra / Goodbye Man 7" JUMI-002
We never expected that we'd have a single out in Finland! Our first European release. On the mighty Jukkim record label. "Them" is from "Come 'n' See". "Goodbye Man" is an alternative version of the track from "Come 'n' See". "Mantra" is from the "Oh God pt 3" cassette.

Cranium Croutons - Ramonic Verses 7" ANDA-154
