Daddy Has a Tail! is the secondstudio album by Minneapolis-basednoise rock bandCows.[2][3] It was released on July 10, 1989, viaAmphetamine Reptile Records, their first album for the label.[4][5]
The album was recorded and mixed by David B. Livingstone, who at the time was the guitarist forGod Bullies, and producer Tim Mac. Originally, the record had been mixed to videotape but the result was of poor quality, forcing Mac and Livingstone to remix the entire album from scratch within the relatively short time span of 4 hours. Regarding the album's current mix, Livingstone has said, "I always felt that they got really screwed. I felt really bad." and that he intends to eventually remix the entire album from the original masters.[6]
The album was never released on its own on CD. It can be found on theOld Gold 1989–1991 compilation released in 1996, with the exception of the song "Chow". Amphetamine Reptile Europe released the album in its entirety on a two-for-one CD that included "Peacetika", although "I Miss Her Beer" and "Sugar" are combined into one track.
The song "Chow" appears on a split with the Melvins forSugar Daddy Live.
All tracks are written byCows, except "Shaking" byJohnny Kidd
