Comment

FZ stopped by WXRT in Chicago and spoke about the then-new Illinois Enema Bandit song, presumably in late November 1975. A few days later, he sent them a tape of the song which they broadcast a few times. This SBD mix has not been heard elsewhere. It is the full song (including a hot guitar solo) except for the spoken intro, and it ends in a Lather-style fashion, with an abrupt cutoff in the vocal outchorus followed by a brief section of "grout" (a snork and FZ saying "turn the mic up").
