I dunno what you think but in my opinion it's excellent. Snake Oil literally rocks and rolls, and Ludwigshafen sounds like Billy Radcliffe - one of the best Pistolero songs, I think.
A must-have!!! |

It's step, hip, step, pivot! Are you trying to piss-off the volcano?! |

| I got mine at the Brighton show - I think they will be selling them at shows until they run out. It was 5 pounds though. |

| Oh, and I forgot to say I LOVE IT! Snake Oil is a great great song (I wish I had heard it live) - Frank's scream is in great form. Ludwigshafen had to grow on me but now I love it as well. |

Do we have any more info on who wrote Snake Oil and why it's ambiguously credited on the insert?

| Frank said it was a Frank Black song - but no one can figure out why it is credited so mysteriously. Andy just asked in the FB question thread. |

| I forgot to say that Cooking Vinyl sent me a kind of bonus cd, the single "Alaska" by Eyes Adrift (3 songs, incl. 2 new tracks). Nice, isn't it ? I didn't know EA but I must admit they're good. |

Really sorry for you.
I think - it's just an idea - they send bonus cds to European customers only, because of the shipping cost. |

Cooking Vinyl has confirmed to me that Snake Oil was written by Mister Black. I can't tell you more. |

"Snake Oil" is not by Frank Black. It was a song on an obscure Italian cassette purchased by FB at a truck stop. |

Frank himself told us he's the author of this song, and I can't believe he lied to us... |

AHA!
I always thought that he was a liar! Just like he lies about that whole 'record live-to two track'-thing. The DVD petition has been out for awhile and still no word about releasing a DVD, they are chicken, I tell you, chicken!

Well, I guess he wrote it then but I'd still like to know why all the confusing crediting.
