Album Intro:

(2-LP set) Double vinyl, beautiful black-on-black jackets, obi strip. First time ever on vinyl for Stan's first solo album on an indie label (after albums for IRS, Geffen, and Capitol) from 1995, with 4 bonus vinyl only tracks! The former Wall of Voodoo singer spins strange and surreal tales that keep you up at night. This album challenges more than a few of the assumptions that have been made about Stan Ridgway as a songwriter. Stan himself calls it ''a song cycle for dreamers and schemers'' and went on to say, ''The songs took shape during the summer of '95, at a time when I was coming to grips with a lot of conflicting thoughts and feelings...And at the risk of sounding like some wounded folkie, this is probably the most personal record I've made so far.''
