I Heard That!! was supposed to be a double LP of new material. Only the first half wound up being new songs and the rest were compiled from previous L.P’s. Most of this record is very enjoyable.

The originals version are much longer and much better, so just scroll down a post or two and pick those up if you are interested. Credits here.
