This is the beginning of the Factory Tape Series, some of the oldest Lefty tunes extant, recorded in many different locations---these are often field recordings, done live and with whatever equipment was available at the time. Even though this is labeled Numero One it was actually released second in the series. Factory Tape #3 (scroll down) was actually released first. Some of these were recorded in the van.

This includes the tune "Don\'t Know Why I Love You" which became a pretty big hit (at least for us) on South African Radio. Don\'t know how this really happened, how they got the record, or any details specifically about where it was played.

This is a picture of Barry Cron and his dog, Boo, on the label. Both of them are now living on Hobo Island. Barry once gave me a bunch of poems he had stashed up in an old cigarette pack he kept in his pocket. In one of these poems he talks about \"living in America...when the dice got rolled..\"

Barry lived on Avenue A in New York City for many years in the East Village in the mid 90\'s. After the neighborhood "changed over" Barry and Boo disappeared. Boo didn\'t like a lot of the new people who moved in. He bit a bunch of them (they deserved it).

This is a live rehearsal album recorded in Ocean Beach, California on a $500 dollar Sony digital recorder, but mastered in an effort to boost up the vocals and warm the whole thing up a bit. Three of the original Lefty members are on it--Jeff Harris, Walter White, and Joe Delmerico, plus Connie Bigelow. Some people say that they have difficulty hearing the lyrics, but I think you can hear them fine if you stretch out your ears. This is an album that almost gets played on the radio a lot if things were the way they used to never be.
