about

It could be cold in Maryland in the winter and so it was in Wheaton and at the Curlew Phantasmagoria show organized by Steve Feigenbaum of Cuneiform Records and put on by Bobby Rencher, owner of Phantas and former owner of Joe's Record Paradise Too. Former employee of Joes, Steve had been tasked to practice selling records. Make of that what you will you will...
- George Cartwright

The Phantasmagoria show was part of a small (4 dates, if I remember correctly) East Coast tour to promote Fabulous Drop. The WFMU show was recorded while the band was rehearsing / recording the album.
