Seven London places · 2004
On the label: the Duke of Albany in New Cross, the pub that played the Winchester. Seven sleeves wait in the crate below, one for each place in north and south London. Pull one, drop the needle and read the tracks.
Dig the crate
The sleeves run in the order Shaun meets them: home, the corner shop, Liz, work, Mum, the pub, and the studio behind it all. Each track is one sourced fact.

Asked first
In the film Shaun and Ed throw records at zombies. Wikipedia says Edgar Wright asked the artists for permission to use their records.
Sade agreed to let Diamond Life be destroyed in the scene, and New Order let its cover art appear, Wikipedia says.
It adds that the zombie extras were recruited partly from fans of Spaced; local children joined too, bringing about fifty child zombies to more than 150 adults.
Wikipedia says shooting took place on location in London and at Ealing Studios.

Last track
The Duke of Albany is flats now, so look from the road. Weston Park Grocery is a working shop. High Road is a public street and Ealing Studios is seen from the Green. Shaun’s flat, Liz’s block and Barbara’s house are private homes, named by street and not pinned.
