Thanks to MIKE RAMOS, KARINA GILL and KATI MASHIKIAN, we were able to play through a number of these songs before I sat down to record them. Prior to this, most Sad Eyed Beatniks recordings were the first or second attempt at me writing and performing the song. Suddenly, I had to remember both the words and chords and played tracks like 'Hysterical Rooters,' 'Who’s That,' and 'Oh Hallo' well over ten times; which is pretty unheard of in SEBs history. Fortunately, these are paired with impromptu tracks like 'Free Composition Number 6' and 'Ring Around Annie;' as first takes are often the best takes." Pressed on green vinyl.
