Strawberry Butthole...

So, here is another song that I really like and decided to butcher, "Strawberry" by the Butthole Surfers.

I first heard this song on their limited edition "Double Live" Cassette which I bought at a local new/used record shop in town called Discs & Dats waaaay B in the D in 1990, my copy is #5849 of 7500.

I also bought the LP at The Turntable in Schaumburg, IL in 1991. My copy of the LP was an Import with the cover photo flipped so the girl is facing left instead of right, like on the Latino Bugger Veil version. I think mai release in on the label called Not 4 (but 5). This release was not labeled as a limited release.

Later, in 2004, I had come across a copy on the Latino Bugger Veil release on LP, so I snatched that one up also. The LP's were a limited run of 10,000. This copy is #5979 of 10,000.

This song was later released in 1993 on the album "Independent Worm Saloon" on Capitol Records.

I went and bought the CD on the dei it came out with mai friend John Notter, back then CD's came in a long cardboard box.

When we got back to mai house I put it in and cranked the stereo, I was zo pzyched to see that this song had been released, It was one of mai faves on the LP and Cassette.

I plugged in my guitar and started playing it, this freaked out John because he didn't know about the live version. He was all "waht the... how do you know that already?"

I had then told him about and showed him the Cassette Tape.

I haven't played this song on guitar for over 10 years, at least. This was recorded on the third time playing through it.

I hope it's entertaining for you.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "I Think I'm Going Bald" by Ed Hall from the album "Comps & 7's" originally released in 1995 on the "¡Cinco Años!" compilation which was released on Trance Syndicate records. (TR-38CD)

I had the pleasure of seeing both these bands play together in 1991.
