Xtra Mile 1st Birthday Party CD
This promotional CD (XMR667) was given away free at the Xtra Mile 1st Birthday Party gig, as part of a goody bag also containing badges, party hats and birthday cake. The gig was held at the 250-capacity Luminaire venue on Kilburn Road in London on April 7 2005, and featured an acoustic performance from Frank Turner, followed by full performances from Million Dead and Reuben; Xtra Mile's only signed bands at the time. The gig was used for the bands to demo some of the new material from their then-forthcoming albums; Harmony No Harmony and Very Fast Very Dangerous, respectively. In the same spirit, the CD contained exclusive showcases of songs from these albums, with Reuben's lead single from the album, Blamethrower; and Million Dead's Father my Father. As such, the CD is very rare, as only 250-odd copies were made for the guests of the gig, and thus is not well known of but highly collectible.

Famous quotes containing the words mile, birthday and/or party:
“I have got enough of the old masters! Brown says he has “shook” them, and I think I will shake them, too. You wander through a mile of picture galleries and stare stupidly at ghastly old nightmares done in lampblack and lightning, and listen to the ecstatic encomiums of the guides, and try to get up some enthusiasm, but it won’t come.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“the birthday of my life
Is come, my love is come to me.”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
“No political party can ever make prohibition effective. A political party implies an adverse, an opposing, political party. To enforce criminal statutes implies substantial unanimity in the community. This is the result of the jury system. Hence the futility of party prohibition.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
