COMMENTS
This tape was begun while the band was still 3-piece and Kurt Calder recorded his parts later, then joined the band. It was the first time in a studio for most of us, and we tried to produce it ourselves. Had we waited until Kurt had joined the band and played with us for a while, then recorded with a REAL producer this project would have turned out much better. Nothing the Twistin’ Egyptians recorded for release captured the essence of their live performances for sound and/or energy. This was a great live band, too bad that the “Perils” tape became the only full-length cassette available to the public. Great songwriting by Steve Trier!
