COMMENTS:
"The Arsonist" recorded May 1985 at Remington Road Studios in Schaumburg, Illinois.
Engineered and produced by Michael Freeman.  (Sounds the same as on their self-titled debut)

Rick Rizzo contributes acoustic 12-string and electric guitars to the song "Delaware Rain"
by the band Paint Set - whose drummer is Ric Menck!

The liner notes say:
"The seeds for this compilation album were first sown at Club 950 in Chicago on 25th April 1984.
The occasion was a Get Smart! show opened by Eleventh Dream Day in their first ever live performance ..."

There is another compilation LP called HOG BUTCHERS OF THE WORLD UNITE that was also sponsored by
WNUR, and it contains a track by a band called Mojo Wishbean & Trippy Squashblossom - a very early
version of Freakwater, the Eleventh Dream Day offshoot band that has
Janet Bean (a.k.a. Janet Rizzo after she married Rick).

Liner notes in the CD say: "Midwestern guitar heroes Eleventh Dream Day have been lauded far and wide of late, thanks to a stunning debut LP 'PRAIRIE SCHOOL FREAKOUT (Amoeba, 1988) which comes well stacked with duelling six-strings and dark, seething songs. New Rose have released the album (and CD) in Europe. "Between Here and There" was recorded on Jan. 24, 1989, a treat for the faithful and a hook for those yet unaware."
