When I pulled this from Barry Ward’s collection this morning to digitize, I figured it would be Spike in studio for an interview with Mancow. Nope. It is the full band performing live with interviews in between. I can’t pin down a date- they were touring with Incredibly Strange Wrestling, which I learned Spike’s wife Aurda managed. So I am going with late 90s/early 2000’s, since it was probably back when barry was in the band. Mancow says “their CD is out” which implies one CD out (1997).

The lineage is also mysterious. When you get one of these generic clear shell tapes, it usually means that it is from the studio- pre FM soundboard.. but this one has FM reception static at times. So who the hell knows, but it is a fun listen. Live mix improves after a couple minutes.
