    Pravda Records' extra-tall album release poster (30" x 13") sent to clubs and record stores in 1994. Very few left. Full color glossy. Album cover design by John Berry (an adaptation of a drawing by Aubrey Beardsley), picturing the chaos that often surrounded Trio shows ;^). Photos of the band performing live at The Middle East, Cambridge, MA 1993 by Thomas Lingner (The Able Lens). Layout by Sheila Sachs. Tag line is a regrettable inside joke from the band's extensive tours of this era. Fan mail not included. Willie's autograph by request.

lyrics

Parlez Vous Français?
He answers, “No.”
Smiles seem to say
What’s Apropos.
Words could not interpret
This affair.
Parlez Vous Français?
They don’t care.

Les mots siele ne peuvre interprete
C’est affaire.
Parlez Vous Français?
On son foue.
