''Intendo'' is a compilation album by Scottish rock band
Bis. It is a collection of non-album tracks plus one new song as a gift to the American market. It was released on both CD and 12-inch vinyl.
The compilation collects material from the "Everybody Thinks That They're Going to Get Theirs", "Sweet Shop Avengerz" and "Kandy Pop"/"Sweet Shop Avengerz" singles, as well as "Kid Cut", a one-sided 7-inch single given out at gigs in Glasgow and London, and tracks from the band's
split singles with
Heavenly and Lugworm.
Track listing
* Packaging lists "Cookie Cutter Kid" and "Grand Royal with Cheese (Outro)" as separate tracks, but they are both on track 10.
