The Muffs (CASSETTE, US)
VIEW:
NOTES:
Cassette edition of The Muffs debut album features Jon Spencer playing Theremin on I Need You.

A very short unlisted track plays shortly after the end of Side B.

The sleeve spells Jon Spencer with a ‘H’ in both occurrences of the name.

Jon Spencer recorded theremin parts for three different songs but only appeared on I Need You on the album. The image below shows Jon Spencer recording on the song Every Single Thing.

This is a screen grab from a video posted by Melanie Vammen on Facebook on 20 August 2020.

A different recording of I Need You (not featuring Jon Spencer) was also issued as a 7″ single by Sub Pop in July 1992.
