Sold’s “Priceless Day” CD EP is not listed in Discogs. How can that be?

I was used to that 10 years ago. 15 years ago. But now? 2025 and there are records that are not part of perhaps the biggest and most important database when it comes to music.

Released by Kitten Records (KAT 001CD) in 1995, the EP had four songs. They were “Priceless Day”, “Not a Game”, “In Your Loneliness” and “Love to See You”. I don’t have a copy sadly, so not sure what other information there is on the CD. From what I can see there is some details on the insert.

What else do we know? We know that at least the title song was recorded in Ashford, Kent, in 1995. How come? The song has been uploaded by someone called Nicholson Burr to Soundcloud. Very thankful to him for letting me discover this band.

I keep looking for this band and I find a post on Facebook by Mark Matthews (and who, for some reason, I suspect he is the Nicholson Burr from Soundcloud, maybe?). There he mentions he saw the band Sold play around 1996, possibly in a venue in Maidstone. Maybe a place called Quigleys (which in the past was called The London Tavern and then The Badger and Honeypot). But he is not sure.

He also mentions that Mark Wrangham is credited for the sleeve artwork. The singer is credited on the sleeve as Matthew Wild.

Another comment mentions that the band wasn’t really from Maidstone. That the band rehearsed in Harrietsham.

Other than that someone mentions that there may be a connection with The Dentists. Could it be possible?
