Rosy Jack World (1991)

Blake Babies

  1. Temptation Eyes
  2. Downtime
  3. Take Me
  4. Severed Lips
  5. Nirvana

The last EP before the split and for many fans one of the best Blake Babies releases.

The cover of Dinosaur Jr’s Severed Lips is so brilliantly executed; it arguably even trumps the original. The EP also features Nirvana, a soon to be Juliana Hatfield classic, included here in acoustic form and which would appear again in all its electric glory on Hey Babe.

Personnel

Juliana Hatfield - vocals, bass, acoustic guitar and piano
John Strohm - vocals, guitar
Freda Love - drums
Henry Rollins - sampled voice on "Downtime"
Diamanda Galás - sampled voice on "Downtime"

A now deleted tweet:
