When I was fifteen or sixteen, my cousin Erik (who I had to bunk with in the Cadillac story) was a budding electrician and on job sites would sometimes find discarded tapes.
That's how I learned about Sir Mix-a-lot and Fear. Fear's More Beer wasn't as lucky as their debut, The Record, but nearly as good. It plays like any hardcore punk record, but these guys were on The Decline and Fall of Western Civilization, so they were punk rock royalty.
Swass, was brilliant and I had no preparation. My Posse's On Broadway is still a goddamn classic and I'm sure Mr A-lot would rather remembered for that than Baby Got Back.
I think a copy of Born Again, the Black Sabbath album with Glen Hughes (before Deep Purple drafted him for a reunion) was also in the mix, but it moved no mountains.
