HISTORICAL NOTES NOBODY CARES ABOUT:
An acoustic version was on the first Fancy Pants release, a two-song acoustic EP also titled The Last
Heel Turn (it's now out of print and not even mentioned on the website, perhaps because they used
the name for their recent full length). The acoustic The Last Heel Turn was released in 2001.
The same version used on The Last Heel Turn full-length (2002) was originally released on the second
Fancy Pants release, the Getting Used to Other People's Remote Controls EP (2002). The only
difference is that on the Getting Used to Other People's Remote Controls track there is a sample at
the beginning (source unknown) which goes "You mother***in god*** degenerate ***ing CUNT!" It
was a good way to start the CD, in my opinion, so it's too bad they took it out in the shuffle from EP to
full-length.
Graham plays (live at least) with only three strings on his guitar. However, I can't figure out how to do
any of these songs well without the four strings traditionally used for good power chords, so this is the
four-string version.
