When I met the Sloe guys they had been at the end of recording Inexact Replica. They were doing overdubs and vocals at j31 studios in San Jose, and when I came in to audition for the band they had me do a couple of bass overdubs and background vocals. I had the job. This would be the first Sloe record I appeared on. Welcome to the brotherhood.
It features some guests who I would meet and become good friends with. Rob's girlfriend (now wife) sang on a song, Jeff Brummett and Joel Stiles did some overdubs and even Tony Sly (R.I.P) from NUFAN sang on a song. I will always love this recrod for those memories
The artwork was done by McHank featuring 'Amway Grasshopper' his astronaut character. Eric worked with him to create a foldable CD pocket that could be unfolded to display a topdown of Amway's spaceship. Eric created a custom die-cut for the cd holder that he hand silkscreened, and we spent an afternoon folding all of the covers over a slew of highlifes and some beam.
