side one, track 3: "The Arsonist" (by Eleventh Dream Day)
side two, track 4: "Delaware Rain" (by Paint Set)
1985 LP on Dead Bunny Records HEAT 451
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).
BUDWEISER CHICAGO PRIDE COMPILATION, Volume One

years before their debut album.
TIME WILL SHOW THE WISER
track #2: "Between Here and There"
1989 CD, Triad Records TRICD 001
COMMENTS:
This is an earlier, different version than the recording on BEET (see below).
Produced by Phil Bonnet and Eleventh Dream Day.
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."
