ET CETERA

All songs written by Mark Robinson, Matt Datesman, Natalie Mencinsky (BMI)

Recorded onto 16-track 1-inch analogue tape (Ampex brand). Mixed onto Digital Audio Tape (DAT).

The interview (track 5) is not an interview with the band. It is an interview with random young gentlemen hanging out in front of a record store.

The interviewer, Mike Dereniewski, is known for his "Patty Duke" fanzine and his Top Quality Rock'n'Roll record label.

This CD compiles all three songs the band recorded in their inaugural recording session. "Swift Current" and "Flin Flon" appear on their debut single, while "Black Bear" is included on the 1998 Teen-Beat Sampler CD.

DETAILS

FIRST CD PRESSING

June, 1999
