This release was recorded as a live improvised jam session one afternoon, at 30065 Morning View Drive in Malibu, California.

Sections of this composition were previously heard on the Psychic TV compilations Electric Newspaper.

[2] In 2006, Thrasher recalled the sessions on the Internet with this statement (verbatim): Puppy Gristle was an amazing spontaneous explosion of energy with cascading and expanding reams of sound fissures driven by some invisible light.

I was reading somewhere online where people were speculating on the name Puppy Gristle and didn't know that we were referring to "Thee Gristlizer" for that event at Shangi-La and thus the name.

Just a day later that magical TG signature-sounding box burned to a small cube of unrecognizable petro-chemical by-product in a 5 alarm fire at the Houdini mansion on Laurel Canyon the night after that infamous gig at Sin-A-Matic when Gen ended up in the intensive care unit.
