Trivial, I know, but...since when has that ever been an issue here? Also, didn't Ralske produce Ivy's first 7" (before their self-produced _Lately_ EP), too?

Patwkos Subject: About Kurt Ralske I just want to add that Kurt Ralske is listed at the credits of the album 'Stonehouse' released by Polyphemus in 1995. (Beggars Banquet). Ralske is co-producing and engineering. For the record, Polyphemus released 2 albums on BBQ and then disappeared. They had a psychedelic-garage style reminding of the 70s.
