The Flies Stink
Bandcamp download album, 2021
This mini
album was transferred from a 1969 reel-to-reel tape and was offered as
a digital download on the Bandcamp
website in June, 2021. The song listing given above is not correct, the
listing below is. Most songs have been released before on the Motorola
CD's, but here the complete/unedited versions can be found (though there
was some noise reduction applied). In general they sound better on this
release. For more information on the Flies, see "Upon This Rock"
in the discography.

Nickle In The Pasture
As "A Nickle In The Pastor" on the reel-to-reel box. This song
was first released on "Motorola Corolla
2" (album #107) but it's better known as "Peacepollutionrevolution"
(different lyrics), which was first issued on "Street Level"
(album #4 in the discography).

My Boat's Sinking - I'm A Prisoner Of Love
"My Boat's Sinking" is "Sinking In Deep Blue" as can
be found on "Motorola Corolla 2"
(album #107). A later recording of this song (as "Deep Blue")
was released on the "Barking At The Ants" LP (see album #15
in the discography). "I'm A Prisoner Of Love" can also be found
on "Motorola Corolla 2" (album

together in one track as on this Flies album, on "Motorola 2"
the tracks are seperated from each other.
