Channel 5
The Channel 5, recorded after the Explorers Split Up was released on the small Expulsion Label, who went bankcrupt right after release. Just a few (around 2000) badly pressed LPs made it into the Shops, and no one bought them. There were Plans to release some Singles, the War Fever/Lies one was the only one who came out. There was a rerelease on CD later with Bonus Tracks, partly edited or rerecorded for the Singles. From Time to time one or two Songs made it into a Live Setlist. Mostly when People request those.
