Moo Over

In 1986, shortly after Terry joined the band, the guys borrowed $600 from me to make a serious demo tape with the intent of shopping it to record companies and producers in pursuit of the dream, a real record deal. The result, Moo Over, was released on cassette in 1987 as the bands first formal product. A smashing 100 copies were made. The JCCD release in 2000 was taken directly from a virgin, still shrink wrapped, opened just for the occasion copy (one of three) that I'd hung onto lovingly for that 13 year period. That CD also included four bonus tracks that I scrounged from another cassette recorded early in the bands career. In 2002 the last of my unopened copies of the original Moo Over cassette fetched $55 on eBay. Copies of the JCCD are not for sale but have hope. As of the middle of 2004 the guys are seriously looking to remaster and re-release Moo Over on CD (a feat that wouldn't be possible if not for the fantastic archival skill of soundman Danny Brown) giving fans a look back at their roots.

Four Tracks (not to be confused with Lord Tracy 4) was also an early cassette release. Despite the fact it never made it into official production it was by far one of the truest examples of the creative energy the guys had. Originally recorded directly into a four track cassette recorder (hence the name) these cuts capture the guys "live" in the cramped living room of Kinley's apartment. This was actually the first of the JCCD releases in 2000 as it was the one I most wanted to be able to listen to on a regular basis. Four Tracks contains my all time favorite "drum machine" version of No More Tears which is so good I've decided to share it with everyone. Click on the link below to retrieve the MP3. Four Tracks is also fun as between songs you can hear the guys lampooning a Michael Jackson video on MTV, harrassing each other for more beer, and other bits of assorted mayhem. "Are we recording?"

Deaf Gods of Babylon

Deaf Gods of Babylon is the debut and only album released on the UNI label. Not long after it's release UNI, which was already struggling (and receiving no help from the parent MCA), folded up shop taking with it the chance for the follow up album which was later released independently as Cull None (see below for details). Produced and engineered by Mark Dodson, Deaf Gods never got the push and PR it deserved because of the financial condition of the record company and only some 80,000 copies were sold despite exhaustive touring. The MTV videos for Out With The Boys (the debut single) and Foolish Love can be found on the fan club video should you happen to come across one in your travels. Copies of Deaf Gods of Babylon can still be found floating around on eBay and the occasional Internet record stores that specialize in long out of print releases.

Cull None (2000)

Cull None was originally intended as a fan club only item. This release I made from one of the 4MM DAT masters that Chris sent me after I mentioned that a friend of mine had a DAT player he used in his home studio. Like the other JCCD releases in 2000 I simply dumped the analog output of the DAT player into the stereo input of the sound card on my PC and ripped the original WAV files which were then burned to CD. It is interesting to note that this version contains one song that understandably didn't make it onto the "official" release that the band put out later in 2004. That song, which I affectionatly titled "Super XXX", is about a minute and a half of Terry railing at the PMRC (or indeed anyone falling into the category of censor) in the form an overdubbed new verse of Out With The Boys. It is decidedly not for children or others that might have their delicate sensibility easily offended.

Live

The Live CD was recorded at The Basement in Dallas on Friday, December 22, 1989 and is a sterling example of the power these guys had over a live audience and why they were just so much fun to watch and work for. As an added bonus it was also a part of the ZRock coast-to-coast concert series and was introduced by the metal maniac Mad Max Hammer. This is another one that wouldn't have been possible without Danny Brown's tender loving care of the Lord Tracy original masters. This CD contains the entire unedited, uncut, eight minute Barney Bass Solo that will make you understand why Terry always says he's happy just to be on the same stage with the guy. Bass players... this will give you a whole new idea of what's possible. Guitar players... try not to cry. Visit the Official Lord Tracy Website and BUY THIS CD or simply click on the link below. You will be VERY glad you did.

Cull None (2004)

This is now the official release of Cull None and as you might imagine the sound quality is a quantum leap up from my poor "made on JC's PC" version but hey... I did the best I could with what I had so give me a break. As noted above, this version does not contain one of the songs on the original master for the same reason that one of the pictures on the cover was blurred out. If you look closely at the picture you'll probably be able to pick out exactly what was going on and should therefore be able to extrapolate (roughly) the words to the missing "Super XXX". Originally intended as a fan club only item Cull None stands a testament to the creative energy and irreverance that the band is best known for.

Lord Tracy 4 (2005)

Not to be confused with the earlier "Four Tracks", Lord Tracy 4 is the first truly new Lord Tracy album in 15 years and contains many of the studio recordings from what would have been the official second album. Some of these tracks were worked up prior to, and specifically for, the 2004 reunion but there are also a few alternate versions of some old favorites. This album was released on January 1, 2005 to correspond with the first "Bring in the New Year with Lord Tracy" event since 1990 and it contains an unlisted radio spot (the real track 18) before the last song.
