Track 1: Opening track on their very rare debut EP Nicely, Nicely, originally released on their own Chewbud label and soon to be re-released by Mammoth. Recorded on 24 tracks at Newbury Sound, Boston in April 1987. Remixed at September Studios, March 1993.
Track 2: This is from the very first Blake Babies demo, and it is also one of the first songs John ever wrote. The song appears on Nicely, Nicely, as “Better N’ You” and on Earwig as “Rain”. Recorded at Boston Film/Video Foundation in November 1986
Track 3: This song, along with the two CD bonus tracks on Earwig, were among the first batch of demos the Blakes did with Gary Smith. A recent version of it entitled “Feed Me” appears on the Juliana Hatfield I See You EP. Recorded at Fort Apache, Cambridge, MA Spring 1988
Track 4: During The Lemonheads brief break-up in 1988, Evan Dando was the bass player for Blake Babies and he recorded six songs with them which later comprised the UK Slow Learner EP. These same tracks, including Lament, also appear on their full length debut Earwig. Recorded at Fort Apache, May-July 1988
Track 5: Earwig was nearly called A Faggot Is A Bunch of Sticks. The artwork was at the plant when Freda had second thoughts. “Cesspool” was the first single from the album Melody Maker called “outside record of the year.”
Track 6: How can you forget a line like “Save your spit for when you shine my shoes”? On Earwig...Recorded at Fort Apache, Cambridge, MA in July 1989
Track 7: Even though the Sunburn version was good, this demo version recorded before the records is how most who saw them live remember “Star”. Recorded at Fort Apache
Track 8: “There’s something about the Blake Babies music that’s as fresh as a whiff of just mown hay at eight o’clock on a summer’s morning…Sunburn exudes youthfulness and charm, a gaiety of spirit” Rolling Stone ***1/2
Track 9: The first single from Sunburn lead to their first video in which all three members shaved their heads. It’s on film (and the Mammoth video compilation Framed!) for posterity...
Track 10: John wrote this pitch to The Lemonheads, but thought it turned out so well he kept it for the Blakes. Based on a Weekly World News story or the basis for a Weekly World News story. You decide.
Track 11: When Juliana belts “You’re a weakling, you’re a suckling lamb. You’re not so tough, you’re just a man” it’s easy to see why this is one of everyone’s favourite Blake babies songs.
Track 12: The Grass Roots cover was originally recorded in the Sunburn sessions, but didn't really flow with the rest of the record. A couple of B-Sides later it leads off the Rosy Jack World EP. Recorded at Fort Apache, Cambridge, MA Mixed at The Carriage House, Stamford, CT
Track 13: Another Sunburn outtake, but this one had no vocals when Paul Mahern got his hands on it. Even though the voices of Henry Rollins and Diamanda Galas are sampled, people to this day want to know how he got them to appear on the record. Modern technology. On Rosy Jack World...Basic racks recorded at Fort Apache during Sunburn sessions. Mixed at September Recording in Indianapolis, IN
Track 14: With second guitarist Mike Leahy added to flesh out their live sound, Blake Babies aggressively toured the US and Europe behind Sunburn and Rosy Jack World. During this show in Chicago, they did four Neil Young songs...Recorded live in Chicago, IL.
