Daddy Has a Tail! is the second studio album by Minneapolis-based noise rock band Cows. [2] [3] It was released on July 10, 1989, via Amphetamine Reptile Records, their first album for the label. [4] [5]
The album was recorded and mixed by David B. Livingstone, who at the time was the guitarist for God Bullies, and producer Tim Mac. Originally, the record had been mixed to videotape but the result was of poor quality, forcing Mac and Livingstone to remix the entire album from scratch within the relatively short time span of 4 hours. Regarding the album's current mix, Livingstone has said, "I always felt that they got really screwed. I felt really bad." and that he intends to eventually remix the entire album from the original masters. [6]
The album was never released on its own on CD. It can be found on the Old Gold 1989–1991 compilation released in 1996, with the exception of the song "Chow". Amphetamine Reptile Europe released the album in its entirety on a two-for-one CD that included "Peacetika", although "I Miss Her Beer" and "Sugar" are combined into one track.
The song "Chow" appears on a split with the Melvins for Sugar Daddy Live.
All tracks are written by Cows, except "Shaking" by Johnny Kidd

Cows were a noise rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota who formed in 1986 and disbanded in 1998. The band’s music mixed punk rock with surreal humour and copious amounts of noise played through distorted amplifiers and trumpet bleats, codifying them as a noise rock band. Throughout their career Cows released nine studio albums, all but one on the Minneapolis-based label Amphetamine Reptile Records. A star in honor of the Cows is on the outside mural of First Avenue.
Cunning Stunts is the fifth studio album by the Minneapolis-based noise rock band Cows, released in 1992 by Amphetamine Reptile Records. It was their first album where they began developing real melodies and patterns instead of their usual blasts of noise.

It was long since out print; however, MVD Audio reissued and distributed the album on CD and a limited edition "Blue Opaque" vinyl LP in 2016.
