Edited at S.R.E. in October ’88 in about seven hours by Alex and David. Mastered in November by the incredibly understanding John Golden at KDisc in Hollywood. Hotel Accommadations [sic] courtesy of Cringer Motor Lounge and Flipside Inn. Processed (I’m still not sure just what processing entails) at Greg Lee Processing. Labels printed by Max at G&M Graphics. Pressed at Alberti by Frank or John or John Jr. Covers printed by Stoughton. Booklets by Lakeport. Skankin‘ folks and logos on the cover by Twist. All other cover, label, and booklet art and layout by David Hayes (that’s me). Band 1/2 pagers by the bands, though many were submitted in very interesting sizes and I had to modify and/or mutilate them accordingly. Lots of bands should have been on here, but just imagine trying to organize this mess, and you might better understand why bands like M.D.C., Tally Hoe, Reason to Believe, Offspring, Jackson Saints, Crummy Musicians, all the great Santa Rosa bands and so on and so forth didn’t quite fit on. Blah blah etc. etc. etc. etc.
