Available Valentine's Day 2010 on compact disc and download direct from Lilypad

The last song completing our restoration project is

"She's In Our Bed"

a song so cringe-ifying to Cath, it took ten years to get it out of her suitcase cassette-stash.

Presented here for all Miaow friends as we prepare for the release of the entire album on February 14, 2010, better known as Valentine's Day. Thanks for listening.

Priceless Innuendo: The Factory Records Demo LRC179

An audio cassette marked "September '87 Nov. Dec." is used as the primary source for our master. Other cassettes with the same content proved to be unusable for a variety of reasons. Fortunately, all eleven songs have been extracted and sonic issues corrected.

In some cases, files rendered as expected having a fairly musical analogue outcome. A few songs do reveal the overall noise floor/hiss but it seemed allowing this to exist preserved more of the original ambiance. Hiss lovers rejoice!

* Carnal Drag and Fear Of The Sun appeared on LTM's 2003 collection, When It All Comes Down.

Audio forensics by Kerry Kelekovich at Lilypad.

Restorations were sourced via a Teac V-570 audio cassette recorder routed through a TC Electronic Finalizer with a 44.1 KHz / 24 bit setting, routed into ProTools 8 and tuned using mastering software by Waves, Bomb Factory and Digidesign.

All Miaow snapshots were taken with Cath's camera by Brian O'Neill or Cath in 1987.
