Other info
This tribute is from the Denver, Colorado based Animal
World Recordings label. As far as I know none of these tracks has
been previously issued apart from Racebannon's version of 'Electricity'
that was on their recent album. Mike Watt has released a cover of
'A carrot is as close...' before but this time he's taking on 'Dirty
Blue Gene'.
This comes from the Animal World website - http://www.animalworldrecordings.com
