Alex Chilton also participated in the recordings, along with session drummer Hilly Michaels. Although the group generated some major record label interest—notably from Mercury Records and Columbia/CBS Records—it ultimately only released a double A-side single on Ork Records in 1977 and a single on Miracle Records in 1978.

In 1978, two of the songs recorded during the Prix sessions were included on ''Losing Y ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
