Yeah, even though there are no published sources, I can attest to the truth of a lot of it. I was there at the Simon Fraser Pub when the album was recorded (actually, takes from several performances were used), and I went to numerous dances, concerts and events featuring the Pumpkins, in Vancouver and in the Kootenays. The Pumpkins used to sell their records at performances, and would even sign them for you. What's actually missing from this article is more information on Joe Mock, who was the musical soul of the group, the guy who knew the music and could write almost anything, from a Schoenbergian 12-tone row, to a country hoe-down. Joe spent some time in the 80s playing in Tokyo bars, which I know because he told me so. Theonemacduff (talk) 17:05, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
