CRACKIN’ UP
 

The retrospective album that I own by the Tell-Tale HeartsHigh Tide (Big Noses & Pizza Faces) came out in 1994 on Voxx Records, collecting 6 songs from The Tell-Tale Hearts (after being remixed to recapture their original sound); 5 from The “Now” Sound of the Tell-Tale Hearts; the 1986 single mentioned above, Promise” b/w “Too Many Lovers”; 5 demos dating from early 1984; and 3 live performances.  Nine of the songs are previously unreleased.  Among the demos is a particularly welcome version of Crackin’ Up”; “Crackin’ Up” by the Wig is listed on the cover of both the Pebbles, Volume 1 LP and the Pebbles, Volume 1 CD but is not actually included on the album.
