DISCONTINUED
Do to personal and professional reasons, the
recording sessions for this project grind to a hault
and the album never gets off the ground. Spun Records
never gets the masters so this schiz-o-phonic
collection of ruff mixes and demos is released.
"Back To Egypt Blues" charts at #36 on 'The Zoo'.
WZXV plays the baroque ballad "Salvation". The artwork
for this album appears in a Art Show at Nazareth
College.
