labradford has never been mixed by o'rourke. i think you're confusing them
with main. as far as labradford's contribution being equal to tortoise,
listen to labradford's 7" on merge which came out around 2 years before the
latest tortoise lp and tell me there isn't some idea-borrowing going on,
especially the last song on the tortoise album. for the most part though,
these two groups don't have too much in common musically both on record and
playing live.

it was advertised at the time as being a strict 1-run pressing. i forget
the amount off-hand; probably 1,000 or so. i think there was an uncleared
sample which prevented future re-pressings of it as well.
