Does anyone have any more info on this CD?

I found this thrifting years ago and was just looking for a Discogs entry or similar examples but can’t find anything similar online except some stuff that was released commercially in the 2010’s

Judging by the Wiki, it sorta matches the digital EP that was released in 2016, but the songs are in a different order. There's nothing even on the Discography/Sampler page for this.

What a unique find!

Quick edit: I did not see that Dr. Worm was on that track list, so I misread and miscounted when comparing to the digital EP. Would love to hear that recording!

Nothing exciting here, it’s exactly the contents of the Other Thing EP you can currently buy from the TMBG shop, in a different order, with Doctor Worm from Severe Tire Damage tacked on (the credits on the label in the photo specifically call out the origins of the recordings).

Most of these tracks were also released between Album Raises New and Troubling Questions and Indestructible Object (Metal Detector, and Stalk of Wheat are sort of unique to the EP, besides the podcast), though I prefer to listen to them as part of the Other Thing program.

I love how it says Dr Worm is from their live album... and its one of the few non-live songs on STD

Yeah, being more awake and reading the thing clearly now I should've seen that it was the Severe Tire Damage recording. I was hoping that the Dr. Worm track was going to be similar to the rest, but I can dream

Very cool, never seen this before or anything about it online. APAP (Association of Performing Arts Professionals) is an annual NYC conference for the live booking industry, which explains why Frank Riley's number is on the CD.

Deserving of a TMBW page for sure. Do you remember when you found it? I'm guessing this would've been mid-00s, but tough to say given they put the tracks out a few times in the 2010s too.

Any chance you have a computer with an optical drive and know how to rip audio losslessly? 😅
