Three songs from this 7" were compiled on CD Abridged Perversion:

"Big Pink Heart"
"You Don't Know"
"Finnish But Not Finished"

"Big Pink Heart" was also featured on Nothing Painted Blue's compilation CD Emotional Discipline, in higher fi. The band's recollections, from the Emotional Discipline liner notes:

KYLE: Those drum sounds at the top
sound like God's flatulence.

FRANKLIN: If you put pop hooks in the
same song with alternating mea-
sures of 4/4 and 7/8, you just
confuse everyone. No one else
seems to remember the Heckle
and Jeckle cartoon I'm citing here.
Also appears on Shrimp-
er/Brinkman's Abridged Perver-
sion CD comp, but, in typical Cal-
laci fashion, it was mastered from
the 7"! Much louder here.

JOEY: Very evocative of my time in
the Inland Empire - Munchie's,
sleeping on the Green Street
couch, bubbles in the tap water
when you least expect it...
