A Woofer in Tweeter's Clothing

A Woofer in Tweeter's Clothing was produced by Thaddeus James Lowe, a former lead singer of the Electric Prunes who was then Todd Rundgren's engineer. It was recorded at ID Sound and Walley Heider Studios, with the artwork photographed by Larry DuPont and Ron Mael. It was the last release by the original line-up of Russell and Ron Mael, Earle Mankey, Jim Mankey and Harley Feinstein, and it did not reach the Billboard 200.

The album opens with Girl from Germany, which Pitchfork described as a satire of post-war prejudice, about bringing a German girlfriend home to Jewish parents. Despite the poor US showing it led to a tour of the United Kingdom, including a residency at the Marquee in London, and to an appearance in November 1972 on BBC Television's Old Grey Whistle Test, where host Bob Harris was cold. Girl from Germany was released as a UK single after the group's surprise success there but did not chart.
