Rosemary's Babies
C.A., Eerie, and Big Ones graduated from Lodi High School in
1982. Post Mortem also went to Lodi High School and graduated in 1980. The band
performed live about 6 or 7 times (including one show with The Misfits) before Post Mortem left. He was replaced by
the band's roadie, Big Ones, who was with the band for 1 or 2 shows. When the
band broke up, both Eerie and C.A. Richie rehearsed with Glenn Danzig as an
early incarnation of Samhain. Post Mortem later went
on to work with Chris Morance of Mourning Noise in a
band called I'm Afraid. Two recordings of Rosemary's Babies shows are owned by band members, one on
video, and one on audio tape. There is also an unreleased recording from the
summer of 1983 of "Attack Of The Fifty Foot Cowboy" with Eerie on vocals, C.A.
on guitar, and Steve Zing on bass and drums.

| Notes: |
The red lettering on the sleeve was done by Eerie Von. Eerie later sold
copies without the red lettering. Each copy came with the lyric sheet and one
or more other inserts (order form, flyer) that were randomly inserted. Later
copies also came with a band photo sticker featuring Big Ones, who had replaced
Post Mortem. Jerry Only, Doyle, and Glenn Danzig of The
Misfits are included on the cover. This record was pressed at PRI Record
Pressing plant in Long Island, NY at the same time as the Glenn Danzig Who Killed Marilyn? colored vinyl reissue. At least one of
the test presses (owned by Jerry Pardue) has the eyes of the band members
hand-colored in red. |
