| SLEEVE NOTES: | |
| [Booklet features several pages of photos and new liner notes by Mike Edison along with the sleeve notes are re-printed as they appeared on the original release]
“spencer and co came out and rocked hard from the get-go. the explosion was tight-they made a hell of a noise for a three piece. bass would have done nothing but get in the way. these guys were smokin’-white-hot-tuned to the same primal source…spencer was the man, the focus, conducting the band with his free arm between bursts and flurries of guitar, judah was the young savage-hands all blurred, possessor of his own six-string style. russell simins dwarfed his kit as he pounded the skins furiously… they were right on the money, seemingly acting upon some innate urge over which they had no control. the blues explosion stomped on everyone’s ass, rocking shit down to its core again and agian and just when i thought that it couldn’t get any crazier, any more out of control, spencer would lean back and magically activate his feedback device which screamed like some souped-up vacuum cleaner. they rocked with that thing howlin’ away for another spat, further expanding the sonic threshold. crazy. herb hitts Extra Width: “thanks to peter arsenault, boche billions, cristina, jeff evans larry hardy, robert gordon, jenna, the jesus lizard, cheryl payne, ken pope and tim warren.” Mo’ Width: “Thanks: Peter Arsenault, Monsieur Jeff Evans, Davis McCain, Mark O, Ken Pope, Greg Talenfeld, Au Go-Go records” “extra width was originally released on crypt/matador on may 24, 1993 |
