Another reissue of the self-titled EP, omitting "Glendora" and "Teenage Love Song." Apparently the band "just wasn’t feeling those songs anymore." "The Annoying Noise of Death" stuff has been left off as well.

It’s worth noting here that "The Frug" and "85" were included on the soundtrack to the film Desert Blue. Both versions there are slightly different early mixes. "The Frug" was the first single for the soundtrack album, and though it was not properly released as a cd single, there was a music video made for it (available on the Desert Blue dvd) and a promo 1-track cd was sent to radio stations.

Availability: out of print. Used to be for sale at RK’s official site for $10 back in ’01 and ’02. Your best bet these days is eBay, where it now has been known to sell for over $150. You could possibly get lucky and find it cheap at a used cd store.
