Instrumental version

about

A companion piece, the King Of The Castle EP contains extra tracks and alternate mixes from the 2012 sessions for the album "Evil Bliss".

Alternate mixes of King Of The Castle open and close the EP with the
Todd Parker Has Left The Building Mix featuring a very special guest
taking care of the vocal business.

Tammy's Secret Wish was a scrapped song by Tadpoles from the early
90's in which dear Tammy has received a spacier makeover in this
version.

Slip Number 2 was another abandoned early 90's Tadpoles' tune that
receives a fresh look by the Witches. The story from TP - "Mike and I were riding the Staten Island Ferry back from Manhattan to our rented house on Staten Island where we lived and had our rehearsal studio. A seemingly confused and disturbed individual walked up to us on the boat and asked us 'How do you get down to the lower level?'. This was an odd question since in order to be up on the top level of that particular boat, you had to goup the stairs. So, obviously, you go down the stairs to get to the
lower level. We directed him down there and the next thing you know,
the boat was stopped in the middle of the harbor. Word got around that
a guy had just jumped off the boat. Hearing the description, we knew
it was our guy. Rescue boats came and didn't find him. This kinda
freaked us out, so when we got home, we just jammed for a bit and came
up with Slip Number 2, recorded it on the 4-track. Guess we got that
out of our system and we never went back to the song as it creeped us
out. This remake contains the core of the song and its still dark,
hopefully in a Joy Divisionish way. "
