Notes: A fun little record that is full of bad puns, familiar rhythms and entirely animal-centric. The cover tells us of the bands leader, "Baja Sr." and a bit of his history.  According to the liner notes, "Baja was first inspired to do the LP one night while watching a tattered old 8 mm rental film. The picture was a travel adventure depicting the age old battle between the sloth and his natural enemy, the squid." So you see what we're dealing with here folks, The cover art is a blend of the band the creatures found within the grooves. Of note, Mr. Wechter can be found amongst the players of Martin Denny's exotic combo.
