"Gets Fat" is the self published 'Cassette Product #1' by Mark Eitzel and was self released in 1982. Some of the songs formed the repertoire of the first AMC live shows. "Hold On To Your Love" appeared on debut album "The Restless Stranger" and "Shadow Of My Name" became "Big Night" on the album "Engine"
I purchased the tape on Ebay. It was being sold by a very trustworthy source so I know it is genuine. The bid became rather high. Over £100 if I remember correctly. The seller was very generous and included a couple of bootlegs on old cassettes and "The Naked Skinnies" 7" Single "All My Life/This Is The Beautiful Night"
My favorite Mark Eitzel memorabilia has to be the signed copies of "Superhits" and "Live @ WFMU" when Mark played Dingwalls in London in 2002 I had emailed him asking if any copies was available and he had replied that there was some in London and when he was there I could mail him some money for them. To mildly put it - I was over the moon.
When you put them both together they form a picture
