I used to put this LP on when I wanted house guests to leave. Some accused me of recording myself.

*** Described as "one of the most harrowing documents of pain and confusion ever made",[7] the album "Oar" was recorded after Spence had spent six months in Bellevue Hospital. Spence had been committed to Bellevue following a delusion-driven attempt to attack Moby Grape bandmates Don Stevenson and Jerry Miller with a fire axe.[2][8] ***
