A milestone for DWM, this EP was their first ever CD release, and also the only release ever to come out on two different formats. In keeping with their tradition of featuring famous friends, this release includes the talents of two members of M. Walking On The Water, Markus Jansen and Axel Ruhland, as well as the recorded debut of the two SubPop Records owners Bruce Pavitt and Jonathan Poneman (reading a poem for Blake!). Also, on the vinyl version is a cartoon drawing of "Fat Freddy" by none other than Gilbert Shelton and Rip Off Press! Andy Martin of the Apostles/Unit drew the back comic. Other input from Joseph B. Raimond, Bernard H. Worrick, Peter Schuster, Ralf Lexis, Denise Kusiak, Andropovski, Rich Ferguson, Emil Beaulieau, Adrian Gormley, John Eberly, Bob Bolish, Frank Abendroth, Allen Shain, Artur Bandalan and .mario. Both formats include a 12 page booklet. The CD has a blue and black cover, the vinyl a light green and black cover and is pressed on yellow and blue striped vinyl. Some of the singles were prepared with special hand copied covers, some of which were copied onto gold sticker paper and others onto grey paper, and yet others have been copied backwards 500 singles pressed.
This is the limited, handnumbered edition of 39 with a different, mirrored cover, including coloured vinyl and booklet.
