These tracks were recorded
in late April or early May of 1992, in the old quixotic rehearsal space
on west 25th street near the west side highway. The building was
one of those old 30s factory spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows, and
the block was a favorite spot for prostitutes, probably because it was
way out there in the middle of a grimy industrial nowhere. Below
us was the USA headquarters for the Communist Party! We shared
the space with Kickstand and Flying Saucer, and I remember one day coming
to rehearsal to find that Bratmobile was getting in some practice for
an upcoming show that night. These tracks were recorded on a small
1/4" 8-track machine...very lo-fi...the cover art was a photo of
a bull's-eye glass window in Jim Quinlan's old apartment on Lexington
Avenue.
