Novelty Rock is a compilation album by the English rock band Denim. It was released through EMI Records in 1997 and gathers all the B-sides from the "Middle of the Road" and "It Fell off the Back of a Lorry" singles, as well as previously unreleased material plus various cover versions. The Kraftwerk-esque track "Supermarket" had previously been issued as a single through Ice Rink under the name Supermarket in 1992.
In 2018, "The New Potatoes" was selected by Charlie Brooker as the "castaway favourite" of his eight Desert Island Discs.[2] "Ape-Hangers" adapts the melody of a then-unreleased Felt track "Jewels are Set in Crowns".
