Supposedly recorded live at Brighton Beach on Halloween,
The Origin of the Feces is actually a poorly played (on purpose) studio record, featuring overdubbed crowd noises that make it sound as though neither the band nor the audience appreciated each other. Most of this material appeared on their first album as sections of longer songs. One exception is a rewrite of "Hey Joe" entitled "Hey Pete," which makes the singer into an ax murderer. Steele introduces his "vampire" vocal style here. ~ Steve Huey
