"They've Scoffed the Lot" is a compilation of radio session recordings by the indie pop band Talulah Gosh.

Release

"Scoffed" was issued in 1991 by the independent label Sarah Records, which at the time had recently signed Heavenly, a band formed from four of the five members of Talulah Gosh. The catalogue number was SARAH 604.

Each side featured a whole Radio 1 session. The first was recorded for the Janice Long show and broadcast on 7 August 1986, and the second was done for John Peel's show and transmitted on 11 January 1988.

Apart from the brief period when future Heavenly member Rob Pursey was in the group, "They've Scoffed the Lot" represented the different line-ups of Talulah Gosh; Elizabeth Price appears on the first session and Eithne Farry on the second.

The entirety of this compilation was included on the 1996 anthology "Backwash".
