SLEEPYTIME TRIO - SONGS & STORIES 7" (WHIRLED RECORDS [NUMBER 8], 1996) [USA]

Sleepytime Trio - Songs & Stories 7"

(Whirled Records – [number 8], 1996) [USA]

I remember passing up this 7" on a few visits to my local record store simply because I didn't know what it was and the cover didn't have much information to allow me to identify it... though I was intrigued. But so glad I eventually came around and bought this 7" from Sleepytime Trio released in 1996.  Two killer tracks, probably my two favorite songs of theirs.

September - Erasmia Pulchella 10"

Discogs names this release "Erasmia Pulchella", but I don't see that anywhere on the release itself. The compilation song is titled Erasmia Pulchella... odd.
