Atlantic Records also put out a number of promotional singles and one promo e.p, all of which not supposed to be sold but which were often available in record stores because djs, reviewers, employees of Atlantic and other bands would sell them to those stores. Of these records, only three are worth mentioning:
The "Obligatory sell out dance version" of My Heart is a Flower (1991), which had a number of alternative versions of that song, and a live version of Jesus Was Way Cool, and a silly photograph of us bound and gagged by the record company executive who did the remixes;
Happy 14 1/2 (1992), a 14 and a half minute preview ep of Happy Hour, featuring Detachable, Martin Scorsese without the curses, Nietzsche Sneezes and All Things Everywhere (two "non-lp b-sides"), and a live version of The Bunny Song; All Things, incidentally, was written and sung by Chris Xefos;
And the single for Why Are We Trapped? (1993) which had no extra songs, but did feature very cool art work by Lance Laurie, who also did the art work for our last album.
This text written by John S. Hall for this website, when he first provided all this stuff in April of 1995.
