Facts

  • The single was released as a CD single and limited edition 7" vinyl of 500 copies.
  • "Didn't I Break My Heart Over You" was originally recorded for the unreleased WEA album, "Fight the Force of Evil". The song was re-recorded for the "Hymns For Strange Children" album and edited for release as a single.
  • "Black Tambourine" is included on the "Now I'm Nailed To Your Bedroom Wall, I've Only Got Myself To Blame" compilation and the live album, "Stampax" (which features a live performance of the song recorded during the band's 21 date "Hymns For Strange Children Tour" of the UK)
  • "Carmelita" is a cover of a Warren Zevon song. This recording was later included on the tribute album, "Hurry Home Early: The Songs of Warren Zevon" in 2005 (released through Wampus Media)
  • Talking about the recording to Wampus Media in 2005, Will Crewdson discussed the band's decision for covering the song:

"This was one of the fastest and most relaxing recording sessions we've ever done. We're longtime admirers of the incomparable Mr. Zevon's way with a song and hopefully we caught some of the magical vibe of the original in our own style. Notice our Ronstadt-esque placing of the verses -- although I did read that it was Warren's original intention to have them in this order -- it's a tribute to everyone!" [1][2]
