The debut SKiN GRAFT single of tourettes syndrome fits and diseased elephant guitar from Chicago's classic rock catastrophes! What to do? Find some lipstick (lay it on thick!), cock your hips, tilt you head back just a bit and get ready, cuz there's an Angel In The clubhouse! NOTE: Though both are recorded by Steve Albini, this version of "Kaput" differs from the one found on the "Fresh Breath" EP.

FUN FACT(S): That's Charlie's Angel Jacqueline Smith in the cover's Clubhouse with the Boy and Kooter!!! An earlier version of "Hot For Teacher" was recorded and never released at Idful Studio by Brad Wood. The Jesus Lizard's David Yow lifted Al's "microphone in the pocket" technique after Shorty disbanded. He would later give Al credit in a series of interviews across the United States. Prior to changing their name, Shorty was called Snailboy and were nearly included on the flipside of the very first SKiN GRAFT Records release with Dazzling Killmen. Prior to this 7", Shorty released singles on Worrybird and Bovine. Snailboy released singles Sympathy For The Record Industry and No Blow Records. A number of Snailboy songs recorded by Butch Vig remain unreleased.
