In reply to Jerry Smith. Holy shit, this is indeed a rare one. Thanks for the info, cuzinlaw! I've retitled the post accordingly.

Not the EP. If my recollection hasn’t completely failed me, this is demo work we recorded just prior to any official release on Homestead. This was recorded by Chris Xefos (who went on to play bass in King Missile). The whole thing was completed in one day in his basement in Huntington.

Valley of The Gwangi became our 1st official record, released as a 7″ EP.

On our 2nd, self titled, 12″ EP release, Flip Your Lid, White Out and Sweat Blood were amongst 7 songs included on that recording.

Last Exit Before Toll and Poly-Razmatazz were included on our 1st full length LP called One Way Conversation.

Have no idea about Carole’s handwriting 🙁

In reply to Jerry Smith. Oh, so this is NOT the Homestead LP in with a different running order — it's a completely unique collection! When and where was this recorded, and how did it end up on a cassette with Carole's handwriting on it?
