More info:

According to Newsletter 10, although this single came out almost two years after One Mississippi was recorded, the songs are apparently quite old. No doubt the tracklist of the fifth singles collection starts here. Fuck School is a fast, garage-y, minute-long rant. Asphyxia By Submersion is a spoken-word piece over an almost avant-garde soundtrack, about the mysterious death (suicide? murder?) of jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler (that's him on the cover) in 1970. A very atypical J Church release. Asphyxia... was supposed to be on a Beat Bedsit compilation CD which came out in mid-2001 but it was held over for this single instead.

The best melodic punk band in Britain form the other half of this release. Head Held High is from their Versus Everything album and continues the band's regular theme of rising above small-town conservatism, while the last song is an exclusive track about the end of a relationship.
