Notes

Comes in a dual pocket gatefold jacket with printed inner sleeves plus plain white poly lined inner sleeves. Shrink wrap has a white circular "180 GRAM VINYL" sticker. Tracks are numbered consecutively on the inner sleeves, but do not appear on the labels.

There is a limited edition color pressing with very similar runouts - Middle Cyclone. Notable differences from other pressings are the runout etchings (e.g. 2016 MIDDLE CYCLONE) and the absence of an MP3 card.

Amy Lombardi at Beekeeper Corp in Chicago is my manager and helps me out in every way.
Ali Hedrick at The Billions Corp. of Chicago is my booking agent.
Darryl Neudorf and I mixed it together at 'The Woodshed' in Toronto, and 'Operation Northwoods' in Mono, Ontario. We had a great deal of help from Chris Shreenan-Dyck at The Woolshed.
The bed tracks and countless overdubs were recorded at Wavelab in Tucson, AZ by Craig Schumacher, Chris Schultz, and Nick Luca.
Lots of vocals were done at Seaside Lounge in Brooklyn with Phil Palazzolo, who also recorded the Piano Orchestra in my barn with help from Ryan Boyles.
Dan at Wall To Wall in Chicago also recorded Kelly and Nora's pretty singing.
Mitch at Batty Steer in Mono Center, Ont. also recorded some additional vocals on short notice.
Mastering was done by the mighty Peter Moore at The E Room in Toronto, as usual!

Runouts are etched.

    Sound is pretty good, but sadly my (new) pressing arrived covered in scuff marks and odd stains. Most of them don’t seem to affect the sound that much, but there is certainly too much sibilance/thinness at times.

      My copy matches this entry most closely, but instead of "2016 Middle Cyclone" mine has "nc Middle Cyclone" etched in the dead wax. Is this a different pressing perhaps?

        Great pressing, notable markings are the 2016 MIDDLE CYCLONE runout and no included MP3 card.
