Personnel

Album notes

  • Mixed and mastered at Alien Beans by Ty Tabor
  • Photography by Wanda Tabor
  • Cover by Ty Tabor
  • Design by Brian J Ames
  • Additional musicians: Wally Farkas - vocals on "Walter Bela Farkas"
  • According to Doug Pinnick, he brought the songs "Happy", "Cupid" and "Hate You" and Ty Tabor brought "Ocean" to the Tape Head recording sessions.
  • All other songs were band created during the recording session - a song a day for 14 days.
  • A music video was made for "Fade".
  • The controversial unreleased track, "Quality Control" is included on Tape Head, only now the song is titled "Happy". The majority of the lyrics are now different, including the lack of profanity.
  • The album cover picture is that of Doug Pinnick wrapped in recording tape.
  • The song "Walter Bela Farkas" was recorded live 8.8.1996 at Tramps NYC. They did the "gag" at every show that tour, but the recording took place in New York.
  • "World" is a reworked song from their Sneak Preview demos.

gollark: If you dislike it, run it yourself with your "better" name.
gollark: I heard it somewhere.
