Mr and Mrs Smith and Mr Drake[b] is an album by Cardiacs members Tim Smith, Sarah Smith and William D. Drake. Recorded and released in 1984, it was the trio's only recording to be distributed prior to their 1991 reformation as the Sea Nymphs.[5][2]
The album was initially only available on cassette through the fan club and at concert venues.[6][7] The first version of the cassette cover is dark with the logo printed in gold; the track list is handwritten.[4] The second version has a purple satin design with a smaller gold logo; the track list is printed in gold.[4] In 2004 it was reissued on CD by All My Eye and Betty Martin Music.[2][8]
