Celibate Rifles

On the Quiet Celibate Rifles

Over the Celibate Rifles career, two projects were long mooted. According to Dave Morris' liner notes for Platters Du Jour, the idea of an acoustic album had been around since at least the Turgid Miasma sessions, out of which came the previously mentioned reworking of "Eddie". The other proposal was for an album of covers. On the Quiet allowed the band a bet each way: eight tracks are acoustic versions of Rifles songs, while the remaining four are all-electric covers of "lost" Australian songs. Hot Records. 2005.
