Fun Facts
Super Furry Animals became the first band to release an album simultaneously on DVD-Audio when 'Rings Around the World' debuted in 2001. ### The band famously performed from a customised tank during the 1996 Festival of Remembrance for Welsh-language television channel S4C and later used it at festivals and promotional events. ### Their breakthrough single 'The Man Don't Give a Fuck' was initially difficult to release because of its repeated use of profanity and a sample from Steely Dan's 'Show Biz Kids'.
