Loved this song for many a year... somebody once said Alex denied writing this, but this version and the demo are fantastic...

I'd love to get a copy of the Elektra demos too, its a big hole in my collection.

I read that the Electra version of "A Little Fishy" was lost. I hope it doesn't stay lost, though.

dusted in memphis is a great bootleg with the demos

Alex played the Rat in Boston in '77 and, of the new originals, it was the highlight of the set. I asked him afterwards what it was about, and he replied with comically exaggerated contempt, "Girls!" (as if that should have been a universal opinion). Since he was by all reports as hetero as possible, I'm guessing he was in the midst of misogynist stretch (perhaps post-breakup) that he was later not proud of.
