Notes

We spent all of 1993 knee-deep in the Working Holiday project. We released a two-band 7'' every month, celebrating holidays and often-overlooked events in history. Each month's 7" was mailed out to the 633 series members, and the remaining 1200 were sold through mailorder and stores. On top of receiving a 7'' every month, members also got a 1993 wall calendar designed by Hatch Show Print chock full of interesting facts about every day of the year, a stylish box to keep their singles in, and a birthday gift.

After a year's worth of stuffing, stamping, boxing and shipping 36,000 7''s, we were ready for a party. We capped off the series with a Working Holiday 3-Day Weekend from January 7-9, 1994. Over eighteen bands from the series and 500 showgoers braved blizzard conditions for a weekend of revelry at DC's Black Cat Club. The show included a cocktail party, incredible performances by all the bands, raffles and confessions, all tied together with words of wisdom from MC Jason Noble of Rodan/Rachel's. Best of all, the entire show was recorded by Bob Weston and Geoff Turner, which eventually showed up as a limited edition release in the Working Holiday compilation CD.

Disk 1 Compiles all the tracks from the entire 7" series onto one handy 80-minute CD. That means tracks from Versus, Scrawl, Lungfish, The Tinklers, Codeine, The Coctails, Eggs, Jonny Cohen, Veronica Lake, My Dad is Dead, Rastro, Lois, Nothing Painted Blue, Small Factory, Tsunami, Jawbox, Crackerbash, The Grifters, Crain, Pitchblende, Swirlies, Caterpillar and Superchunk! Geez, on one CD?! The hefty booklet includes photos and stories from the year when 7"s took over our lives.

Disk 2 (Also sold sepeartely -Out Of Print)Includes live performances from Danielle Howle, The Tinklers, David Greenberger, The Coctails, Crain, Pitchblende, Eggs, Archers of Loaf, Superchunk, Tsunami, Bricks, Jonny Cohen, Rodan, Franklin Bruno, Caterpillar and Versus. Recorded at the Black Cat in Washington, DC January 7-9, 1994 by Bob Weston and Geoff Turner.

Tracks 1-3 and 1-4 are listed in the wrong order on the back artwork, but are listed correctly in the booklet.
