Liner notes

Recorded in a walk-in closet between July 1984 and March 1985. Egg-crate foam on the walls, cut from a mattress pad. Christmas lights in place of the overhead bulb, which hummed. The four-track stood on three phone books so the faders were at hand height. All beats programmed by Tracy. All machines made to agree by Kevin. Words by Dawn. Do not tape over.
