Arab Strap later included a song entitled "The Week Never Starts Round Here" on their 2003 album Monday at the Hug and Pint. In a 2009 interview, band member Malcolm Middleton stated that The Week Never Starts Round Here is his favourite Arab Strap release: "...it's completely undiluted and free from any self-expectations, which we later developed".[7]
