Album Notes & Community Reviews
Oswald pressed a thousand copies at his own expense and gave them away to radio stations, libraries and critics, each track rebuilding a single icon from the Beatles to Stravinsky. After the Canadian Recording Industry Association acted for Michael Jackson, whose 'Bad' he had diced into 'Dab', the remaining copies and master tapes were surrendered for destruction.
