Some quick notes:

Jack Knife (generally Jackknife elsewhere) make their lone appearance here among Shrimper-adjacent materials.
Iacocca/I.A. COCA is the alias Allen Callaci used in The Bux.
This Party of One recording is beautiful, so its lack of further distribution is really a tragedy.
Somehow, this is the only Furniture Huschle song to appear on a Shrimper compilation. Joel (Huschle)'s voice is of course audible in his work with Wckr Spgt, who appear on several of the comps.
A fun note on the scans here: take a look at the A-side of the label for this release: SHR710. Then click here to see the B-side label from SHR701 Ghost of a Rollercoaster.

"We'll fly you to LA, put you up at the Ritz, get together your
"fantasy band", and see what we can't do"... a story told in long
hand by the esteemed Tom Scharpling... huge thanks to

From there, I encourage you to look at the scans. I don't prefer to link to Discogs, because user-created content on any platform is slightly unpredictable, but even on the copy scanned for its release page, the insert looks identical to mine. I'll buy more copies of this 7" at some point but as you can imagine I have other priority material for the site. As for why it's printed that way, the intentional vs. accidental arguments are both viable. The Tom part is legible, anyhow. Tom's great.
