(1996)Trailer is a punk influenced mini-album by the band Ash. The album was released in October, 1994 through Infectious Records. The band considered it a "trailer" for their debut album proper, and named it accordingly.The band recorded this album while still teenagers, and the sleeve art features the legend "Guaranteed Real Teenagers", taken from a porn magazine, to promote this. "Uncle Pat" was featured in a Guinness advert, which helped to raise the profile of the band, both in Ireland and Britain.Though the name refers to movie trailers, as a visual pun, the cover of the album shows a toppled truck trailer.An early rare version of this album was released with a bonus John Peel Sessions 7" with the tracks:
1. Silver Surfer
2. Jazz '59
