My theory on the New Boots and Panties was that they literally recorded it straight through, proven by how unhinged side two gets, winding up with Plastow Patricia and Blockhead. Its just a theory.

We're asea with this one. Just not something we know anything about -- and it just feels like forces of capital swarming to screw us over.

Thanks so much, paparay! SO FREAKING GLAD we put on the radio instead of settling in to watch TV as was our intention when we got home. This was gold.
Be well, pals.
