The Michaels spent almost two months on this one! Recording tracks at parties and jam sessions wherever they went, and picking up a new member along the way, they came out with some good material. Much of which was added to in the studio to create a well rounded, ethnic sounding album.

01

It Aint Right

This track was recorded in The General's conservatory and was cropped from a much longer piece. The conversation between Bobby & Fillup at the beginning was recorded in a pub a week later. The Michaels doing what they do best!

02

Aye Dye Dye 

Recorded in The General's kitchen, this is the first track ever to feature Dorkus' percussion abilities! The first of many ethnic sounding tracks on this album

03

The Grass by the Lake

Recorded by a lake on Sutton golf course - not the best
04

Simon Share the Wealth

On the album more for comic rather than musical appeal, Fillup Maximum steals the show on this one

The Epic Quest of Bobby Jacoby 

Originally an on the spur instrumental - later transformed into the first chapter in the search for Fillup

08 The Vowel Song

This one was written on the spur, but not recorded at the time, so re-done in studio. The eerie monk-type chant seems to cleanse the soul.
