What's Changed On Tiki Central? - General Tiki

I just about wore that tape out, and I still have half the songs semi-memorized. Sadly, I lost it while moving a while back. Imagine my shock when many years later I heard a relatively bland, tame, over-produced version of Tiki God on the POTUSA album... turns out that Ballew had previously formed about a dozen bands with slightly different lineups here in Seattle over the years, and my tape was from one (or maybe more, who knows) of his earlier bands.
