Sad To See It Go: No

The second of 3 Crush singles, like the first, has a B-side not on the otherwise exhaustive compilation The Clown Sessions CD from the mid-90's that also sold in this order.  Of course, since the band only had three singles, I assumed the compilation was exhaustive, but I should have put two and two together since the buyer bought the first two with the comp, but not the third.

I did play the single to test before shipping and of course now that B-side can not be heard on the interwebs.  I cannot remember it, so I guess it is lost to the ages.  However, the A-side was one of the bands more memorable songs that I did remember before all the recent reacclimating myself to the Crush catalog.  Who could forget Ron Ward's yelp and otherwise indesciperable lyrics about Squeaky Fromme?  Not as memorable Squeaky's escapades from Mansonite to attempted President Ford assassin and if that wasn't enough garnered  extra prison time in 1987 for an escape.  To cap it all off, Crush issued this 1990 tribute song with Squeaky on the cover and safely in prison.

She was on parole in 2009 and still lives among us today.

I'm going to say this one is quality start to finish.  My favorite cut is th...
