Details: This was supposed to be a stand-out cassette-single to preview the “new” Sheep album which still hasn’t come out 12 years later!  Lillian and Jeff had overdubbed weird music written by me, Danny & John for the A-side, all very quickly, then I devised a massive orchestral build-up later on the EMAX.  The first B-side track (“Will Ya”) is from a live performance at Sylvia’s Diner, captured on video by Jeanne and later reissued as one of the “bonus tracks” on the WIDE OPEN SPACES cd.  The final song is a spontaneous quickie strummed by Danny and sung by Steve the day we taped his version of “Ode to a Diff.”
