Notes: (from forum.frankblack.net FAQ)

SUNDAY SUNNY MILL VALLEY GROOVE DAY (SSMVGD) refers to an unreleased set of ten 
tracks that Frank recorded with the Catholics in San Francisco in 2000. Frank wasn't 
completely happy with how the sessions sounded and decided against a commercial release.
He handed a few copies out at shows and they were eventually posted to the Internet by 
fans. There was no cover art; the original CDs were white with a track listing on the back 
of the case.

A few quotes from the man himself on SSMVGD:

"I don't think 'Sunday Sunny Mill Valley Groove Day' sounds very good. And there were some 
mistakes on a couple of the takes, and some of the songs needed a lyric re-write, so there 
were a few things we weren't happy with. It doesn't really sound like a record; it's just 
a session, I think . . . Most of it actually is coming out in some form or another, like 
on b-sides and compilations." 
(Sam Worrad, Shutdown Fanzine, Issue May 2001)

"DOG IN THE SAND is our third record. We attempted a fourth in San Francisco a few months 
ago, but maybe I was getting cocky. We did get some good b-sides for the single release 
of 'Robert Onion'."
