In 1988,Flight of Mavis was three twenty year old kids who lived on the same street in a suburban Philadelphia town.They were friends since the second grade.They grew up on Kiss and Cheap Trick and loved the Ramones.They wrote a song about the Loch Ness Monster.They were together for less than a year and had played only a gig or two when they recorded theirfirst record in the summer of 1988.It was released early in 1989 on vinyl.
The ten songs that made up that original album were recorded in about 40 studio hours,mostly on 'first takes'.With little experience,lots of rawtalent.and the good instincts to stay out of their own way,Flight of Mavis made this very cool little record.
There are five bonus tracks included in this release.They were recorded in 1990 at Water Music in Hoboken,NJ by John Siket and produced by Gene Holder(DB's).
Four of the tracks have never been issued before and one was issued on their 'Spools' CD in a different version.
