Title Note

Soul Asylum: Dave Pirner (vocals, guitar); Dan Murphy (guitar); Karl Mueller (bass); Pat Morley (drums).

Additional personnel: Tom Burnevik (saxophone); Gary Louris, Heather Mackereth, Eric Pierson (background vocals).

Recorded at Creation Studios, Metro Studios and Paisley Park Studios, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The CLAM DIP AND OTHER DELIGHTS EP was originally released in England in 1988 and featured more covers, including a stab at Foreigner's AOR standard, "Juke Box Hero." The U.S. version includes one cover and two originals not featured on the English version. CLAM DIP is vintage early Soul Asylum (and check out the cover art!).

"Chains" is a cover of an obscure new wave classic with a metronomic beat, Dave Pirner's slightly echoed vocals, and punchy, clipped guitar work from Dan Murphy. "Artificial Heart" is a story-song with canned vocals and a gruesome plot line about kidnapping and decapitation that suggests a punk version of the Velvet Underground's "The Gift." "Take it to the Root" is a Red Hot Chili Peppers-style metal/funk rave-up. The album's highlight is "P-9," a folk track written as a benefit in support of striking workers at a meatpacking plant in Austin, Minnesota. P-9 was the local union chapter that went on strike in 1984 and made a major statement in U.S. labor/management history. This collection is the ideal introduction to the world according to Soul Asylum.
