NOTES:

• After much confusion, the origins of this track have been confirmed! For starters, the piece on the Bang Zoom cassette is the same song as 'Blues Blur', or what I had labelled as 'Blues Blur' -- the unknown GDD# tune from August '85 that Lee sometimes sings and sometimes does not. So. I'd read a quote a long time ago where Steve referred to the Bang Zoom track as 'Cat in the Hat', but I was never clear whether that was true. A set list for an August '85 show confirms the track as 'Kat + Hat', however, and further discussions w/ Aaron Mullan and SY have set the record straight on these 2 titles.

• "BLUES BLUR" = a song from '83, pre-steve, that has not been bootlegged, but SY do have a recording.
• "KAT N HAT" = the 'bang zoom' song, the 'anarchy at st mary's place' song, the old 'blues blur', etc. SY have a demo recording of this too.
• Originally released on a cassette with issue #7 of the Bang Zoom tape zine, which also contained an interview with the band. This recording is the song's debut, with a longer, more menacing intro, taken from 07/05/85, Peppermint Lounge.
• The song was played regularly on the August '85 tour, often with Lee doing some spoken word/singing, but usually off mic and quietly (at least on recordings).
