I used to have this single on 12" vinyl, but I gave it away to Comrade Colin a long while back as an early display of friendship. Rather stupidly, I forgot to record two of the four tracks, so can only offer up the a-side and its sister alternative:-mp3 : A House - Endless Art
mp3 : A House - More Endless Art
A House were a Dublin band that releasec countless singles and albums to critical but not commercial acclaim between 1987 and 1997. Endless Art in 1992 was about as close as they ever got to success, reaching #46 in the UK charts. I recall seeing what was, for the time, a quite amazing and ground-breaking video on a Saturday morning video show that aired on ITV and went out and bought the record the following week.
See what I mean? This should have been massive...........but then again if it had been, it would all likely have become very irritating all too quickly.
Happy Listening.

The best to come out of Dublin since........ I don't know when.
The other 2 tracks are from a John Peel session and are Charity and Freak show.
They are on their way to you!!!
"This should have been massive...but then again if it had been, it would all likely have become very irritating all too quickly." That is a very astute observation. I wonder how much it applies to a lot of the content here. So much well-loved, fondly remembered music from bands that never broke through, or only broke in for a little while. Still our treasures, more and more valuable to us as they grow more obscure. Lots of bands now awaiting the same fate. Hmmm. Interesting song. Offhand remark even more interesting. TVV hitting us where we live again, and we live all over.
Choooon!
One of my all-time fave tracks.
Really impressed! Everything is very open and very clear explanation of issues. It contains truly information. Your website is very useful. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more!
I too gave my copy away to my brother in law in a similar act of friendship. He has since sold everything in his possession to fund a drug habit ! Happy days.
Great tune and blog.
Just came across this while trying to find the album after iTunes ate some of my A's - I can live without ABC and ACDC, but was bereft that I'd lost this album "I Am The Greatest". Thankfully a friend has a copy so all is not lost after all.
Saw these guys on a triple bill with other unknowns Blue Aeroplanes and Sleeper in the back of the Princess Charlotte in Leicester. Truly happy days - great band.
