Shimmies in Super 8 is a rare compilation released in the United Kingdom in April 1993 as a double pack. Its catalogue number is DS45 - 05/06. DS45 - 05 is a white vinyl 7", and DS45 - 06 is a green vinyl. Both 7"s were housed in a folder cardboard sleeve in a plastic bag. This album features two of the four songs produced by Darlin', a French indie rock group composed of Thomas Bangalter, Guy-Manuel De Homem Christo (later of Daft Punk) and Laurent Brancowitz (later of Phoenix).[1] [2] [3] Some copies include a Darlin' sticker roughly 400, Darlin' paper insert and a Colm paper insert, designed by de Homem Christo. All copies were numbered (800 copies).[4] A few light blue test pressings are also known to exist.[5]
