Midnight Records became a real drag... and we had to get out of our contract, because Enigma was looking for us for soundtrack music, and Midnight refused to cooperate. So Mikey titled up I'VE JUST KILLED A MAN, I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY MEAT which is borrowed from a certain lousy Italian western movie, dubbed. It gains something in the translation. We recorded live @ Brothers III in New Haven, and the Rat in Boston, and somewhere else, who knows... the sides were pretty cool, the cover art awesome and we could say "See ya" to Midnight. Although, in fairness, they did release the 
Midnight Christmas Mess where all Midnight Artists at the time were asked to
produce a Christmas Song, the 45 with picture cover resulted, which
remains a favorite one that took Eric all of an afternoon to write - MERRY CHRISTMAS/WHITE CHRISTMAS, that's an old pose of Santa gesturing with his nose, no longer used to promote the holiday. The B-side is all Mikey, whistling like Bing , and Deb fumbling through the chord changes, produced at Trod Nossel.
At about this time, also, Brian T was trying to put a band together. He
had written a few songs, but his band fell apart, so we worked up a
side project with Brian and Jane, a 3 song EP titled BRIAN T & PLAN 9.
Colin Cheer did the cover for this one as well, a drawing of John
Florence in another state of mind in New York City at Dino's Mad Violet
house.
The band hosted a 2 day Love Party in Shannock at the Village Café, a dozen cool bands came in on the 14th of February and stayed a while. We recorded the entire event, but alas the tapes are still missing, perhaps stored safely in a dishwasher somewhere in Maine...
