    For you vinyl lovers out there - Saratoga on beautiful black 12" vinyl with a varied song sequence to better suit the "Side A" / "Side B" format.

    The album jacket, designed by FDR graphics guru Mike Virok, includes the David Appel photo of the band in the studio on the back and the Tris McCall photo of urban NJ on the cover. It's such a pleasure to see this design in a 12 x 12 format rather than the tiny compact disc - but the real allure here is the beautiful sound of this album on the vinyl. Also included in this order is the 11 x 11 insert / lyric sheet and the SF Beer Tour sticker (designed by freelance artist Jason Kochis).

lyrics

Where were you when they put me out with the garbage
Where were you when they put me out on the curb
Where were you when they kicked me out of the kitchen
For putting too much butter in my curds
Where were you when they married me to that doctor without a heart
In other words, in other words, where were you?

Where were you when they put me up in that backroom
Where were you when they hired those security guards
Where were you when they put me up in that tower
With noone there to talk to put the stars
Where were you when they told me not to remember who you are
I other words, in other words, where were you?

Where were you when they told me about contrition
Where were you when they put me in the back of that car
Where were you when told me not to stay here
And not to put my elbows on the bar
Where were you when they turned the lights off
And said it wasn’t dark
In other words, in other words, where were you?

Where were you when they burned up all my magazines
Where were you when they tied me to that rail
Where were you when they told me not to worry
And that the constitution was for sale
Where were you when they held me with no chance to post my bail
In other words, in other words, where were you?
