This is the first tape that was not recorded in a mere two days and there is a decidedly more premeditated feel to it. Songs sound a little more crafted, though still very rudimentary. You can hear overtones of seriousness (and Bob Dylan influence) in tunes like "Corina" but that doesn't last long. Rodney's Jake Jiles character is curiously absent here. This is mostly just a collaboration bewteen Garth and Joe. A lot of these songs sound multi-tracked, though this was recorded before cassette 4-tracks were available. Instead, a tape-to-tape overdubbing method was used requiring 3 tape recorders. The basic recording was played back on one player while mixed through a second tape recorder with a live microphone recording the "overdub" onto a third recorder. To get a delay, or reverb sound, Garth and Joe recorded a track on two tape recorders simultaneously, then played them back slightly out of sync while recording the results on the third tape recorder. (This method was employed throughout the song "Death and Disco" as well as the song "Crazy" on the first tape.) It was a crude method, but it worked.
