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. -- David A. (DAP) Pearlman Billy don't be a hero... Be a pastrami on rye.
