Release data

This album was released in 1985 as an LP by AIP Records (somewhat out of order, as #AIP-10020).

Notes on the tracks

With its moaning saxophone and infectious beat, the instrumental that starts the album, "Wolf Call" would feel right at home on the Born Bad Series. "Sorry Charlie" is a take-off on the long-running series of Charlie the Tuna commercials for StarKist Tuna, complete with faux British accents.

Side one, track 6 is incorrectly credited to "The Statics." The actual artists are Merrilee & the Turnabouts, featuring Merrilee Rush.
