Notes:
The box set contained the 7" single BIB5, three picture postcards:
and a fourth with the following text:
"For those of you just discovering The Bible...After the original collaboration of Cambridge-based BOO HEWERDINE and keyboardist TONY SHEPHERD from Leeds in the summer of 1985, THE BIBLE became a "band" unit with the addition of NEIL McCOLL (sic) on guitar and DAVE LARCOMBE on drums.
Recordings were made over a four-year period, that led to the independently-released LP "Walking The Ghost Back Home". These tracks included "Graceland", "Mahalia" and another live show favourite "King Chicago".
Subsequent radio and press interest in this LP led to a recording contract with Chrysalis and the band's first release through this affiliation was a remix of the "Graceland" original demo from the "Ghost" LP. In June 1988, the "Eureka" album was released, produced by Texan rocker STEVE EARLE.
In the two years since that LP The Bible have toured throughout Britain and Germany and a recent re-recording of "Graceland" was a chart record in the UK.
"Honey Be Good" has been re-issued due to public demand and the band recently performed the song on "Wogan". Watch out for the compilation album "The Bible". Released soon, it features the band's finest songs to date."
