Notes

Recorded at home on 4-track.
Track 5 recorded at Noise, NY, taken from "The 20th Anniversary Of The Summer Of Love" Sampler (Shimmy Disc).
Track 10 recorded at BC Studio, NY, taken from Curlew's "North America" LP (Moers). 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.

Manufactured in Austria.
Lithography: Zürich.
