DB: X provided that rare mix of songwriting, personal charisma and musical expertise. More than any other band, their personalities were evident in their music, and were never even slightly conventional or dull. We'd been good friends with X for some time. I'd actually been in an early incarnation of X. We used to play at their house. I played an electric piano that I think Billy Zoom provided. It was just something that was lying around. That didn't last for very long. Anyway, the X single didn't really go over as well as was planned for some reason. As a matter of fact it was the only record we ever got returns on. Hard to deal with. They had really put a lot into that recording in terms of performance, and you could really feel it. There was a lot of disappointment with them. It didn't take off as much. Although again, all their critics were delighted.
BMF: While this release was a uniform black vinyl pressing (presumably pressed in batches like the others), the test pressings were done on clear vinyl thereby creating an extremely desirable and vexing item for the Dangerhouse completist. Six known copies.
