Notes

[DDD]
Comes with a booklet which contains classes of cues, each with an associated body part and color, for changing the ensemble, solo and duo improvisational games, "cartoon trades" for fast intercuts between players, varying one dimension (music, ensemble, or volume), live sampling, and endings. There are a total of 19 basic cues. In addition, there are "guerilla systems" with "tactics" that may disrupt the ongoing proceedings.
Tracks 1.1, 1.9, 1.11, 1.13, 1.14, 2.3 are additional tracks not on original LP release.
Studio version recorded May 9, 1986 at Radio City Studios, New York City.
Live version recorded at Renseleer Polytechnic Institute October 21, 1985, Troy, New York.
