NOTES: VIEW:
Stickered card sleeve with printed card inner sleeve.

Money Mark appears on Buscemi, Yellow Eyes and Turn Up Greene. (all of which would later be released on the 2010 expanded re-issue of Now I Got Worry).

Wail appears on the album Now I Got Worry and was issued as a one track promo CD in the US. Released as a single in UK as a green vinyl 7", grey vinyl 7" and four-track CD single.


The "John Spencer Blues Explosion" cover artwork was written by Blues Exploison fan Laura Price in Tipex on an escalator hand-rail at Tottenham Court Road underground station in London. It was actually written before a Boss Hog gig (probably 13th March 1996) although after seeing the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion with Doo Rag and RL Burnside at the Astoria (6th October 1996) I personally saw this  and remember there also being a second part a bit further down the which just said "Damn".

Each of the sleeves features a slightly different photo by William Bankhead of the same text.
