In full, the cover actually says "12 Excerpts From Songs for the forthcoming LP Cold Fingers". Hearing those 12 snippets may be even more frustrating than not ever hearing the unreleased album at all.
Here are the 3 songs tygerhead mentioned in his post, the band sound much better here than on the EP/Mini LP. I'm guessing these were the tracks as featured on the V/A 'Reincarnation Volume 1' compilation released in ‎2001, which is still in print on CD from Heavy Rock Records for £10: https://heavyrock.uk/product/reincarnation-volume-1/ :

I used to have the unreleased album. These three songs are not from what would have surfaced with Andy Pyke - these are the original versions with Mark Wederell, who was on the ep. Andy is a much better singer. The album sounded like garbage due to the syndrums they used instead of regular drums (probably Finn's stupid idea). There was an incredible song called Fool's Game on the album, which I've been trying to find since the internet hit. I lost the album along with a live show recording way back around 1990. The album was good but not the holy grail that some thing it is. Tony Clark was far and away the standout musician in the band but his songwriting was only good - aside from the aforementioned Fool's Game.
