Notes

Recorded at home on 4-track.
Track A5: recorded at Noise, NY, taken from The 20th Anniversary Of The Summer Of Love 1987-1967 (Shimmy Disc).
Track B2: recorded at BC Studio, NY, taken from Curlew's LP North America (Moers Music). All sounds made by saxophone or microphone.
Drums recorded at various times and places, thanks to Frank Wuyts, Fred Maher, Paul Sears and especially Hans Bruniusson, who let me make a tape of 15-second generic drum styles without having any idea what I would do with them.
Special thanks to Tina, Asha, Kramer, George, Eugene Nowacki, Burkhard Hennen, Tom Cora, Roger and Annie.

Cheap At Half The Price was first released by Ralph Records in 1983 (except tracks A5 and B2).
