We'll all be portions for foxes

So, the EP is done. Really done. Limited editions cut, glued, folded, and with special tabs, sealed. For the sake of not weighing down the limited editions with 10 lbs of black ink, and so we wouldn't leave someone/thing off that we really should include, we kept info on the EPs to a bare minimum. Some notes that would have been included:
-the design for the limited editions, the layout to be specific, would have been completely different and would have probably wasted a good deal of paper had it not been for the now-defunct Chicago-based Fireproof Press, makers many a classy item. They have layouts up on their site still. Can't say enough good things about them.
-Rob Gaddy helped in the writing of some of the songs.
-sleeves were printed at Praxis in Raleigh
-Andy did a hell of a lot of magic to make things sound so good. Except for drums, we kept commenting on how good the drums happened to come out.
-despite all our bitching, we are thankful that Matt Scialdone lent us his ADAT. We are also thankful that he didn't insist that we had broken it when it stopped working. He also provided microphones and monitors. He's just a great guy, that Matt Scialdone.
-the CDs intentionally have no artwork or words or markings, save a few fingerprints which were unintentional. There was an idea to do a series of EPs, each CD having recorded material in the shape of one of our heads (one person's head being the artwork), like these Beatles interview discs I saw years back. This went out the window when we checked Maple Stave Accounts Payable. Sadly, our idea of CDs being delivered to people's homes by animatronic characters we had designed went soon after. Maybe one day.

I think we also forgot to say Thank You, Enjoy.
