Trivia

* A 1968 Gibson sg guitar reputed to have been formerly owned by lead guitarist John King of The Litter is now owned and frequently used by Gary Louris of the The Jayhawks and Golden Smog The Gibson SG guitar was owned from 1977-1986 by Kevin Waddick. Chris Osgood, at the time the guitarist of the legendary Suicide Commandos seminal punk trio, originally suggested that Kevin Waddick buy the guitar and then was the one who later informed Gary Louris that it was for sale. * On the album "Distortions", there is a track entitled "Harpsichord Sonata #1", which was never intended to be on the album or even recorded, but was added regardless.
