about

Recorded in August 1978 in Hollywood, California this 10-track set hasn't ever been previously released. Here's what guitarist/producer David Kessel writes in the album notes:

My brother Dan and I met Kim around the early days of the Runaways. He was a very cool guy with a quick wit and special vocabulary. We ended up doing several projects and recordings with Kim. We helped with his girl group the Orchids and the Vampires from Outer Space Album.

During this period my brother and I were doing our own projects (The Ramones, Blondie, Rodney Bingenheimer, the Go Go’s, and co-productions with Brian Wilson and the Honeys/American Spring) and working as second-generation Wrecking Crew members on Phil Spector records. This included recordings with John Lennon, Cher, Harry Nilsson, Dion, Leonard Cohen with Bob Dylan, the Ramones, and Celine Dion amongst many others.

We were hanging out with Kim, and he said” Why don’t you guys produce me, that could be cool”. So, we went into a funky studio on Hollywood Boulevard across from Grauman's Chinese Theatre and proceeded to write some songs in the studio. Our mutual friend, DJ legend Rodney Bingenheimer said, “Don’t make it sound too expensive or you lose the lo-fi groove that was happening in punk rock at the time.” We structured these songs on the spot so there were no bridges on any of the songs. This album was an accident on purpose, and Kim ends up sounding like a punk Leonard Cohen.

Enjoy it as a fun musical excursion. We had a blast making this record.
