Put Another Foot Up


"ABOUT DRUGS, PEOPLE AND POPULAR CULTURE"


Here's an interesting site about just what it says up there. The name kinda rings a bell, too.

What Might Have Been


The white label pressing of "Songs The Lord taught Us" had "Drug Train" in place of "TV Set" and most of the other tracks were totally different mixes from the actual release. "Drug Train" was left off the album because Alex Chilton thought it didn't fit in. The eventual single mix was different. An intial batch of the U.S. release was shipped in a sleeve with the white label track listing although the actual record inside was the U.K. release. The logo and title on that sleeve was printed in white and the rear of the sleeve had a purple tint as opposed to the pinkish U.K.
