Well, I think you're right about the single. I have a copy somewhere,
but it would probably take me days to find it.

Fear also produced most/all of an LP with schlock-meister producer
Ritchie Podolor (sp?), who produced a bunch of the Three Dog Night
albums + lots of other slick pop stuff. The group wasn't happy with
the drum sound on the album.

My source? I worked two summers with Fear guitarist Philo Cramer, and
hung around with him a bit. He actually thinks the whole Fear thing
is sort of a joke (or did), but fun. He also has a B.S. in physics
from UCLA and is pretty normal when not on stage. Which may go
to prove that all punk rockers aren't.
