The Nerves

The four-song EP that is the band's only release in its lifetime.
The Nerves, 1976

Wikipedia calls the EP self-released, Third Man says Bomp! released it and Rock and Roll Globe says the band's own label distributed it through Bomp!. The producer, exact recording date and track times were not found. "Hanging on the Telephone", the lead-off track, was a commercial failure on release. Peter Case recalls that when he met Lee in late 1973 or early 1974, Case played "When You Find Out" and Lee played "Hanging on the Telephone", per a search excerpt of a Penny Black interview we could not open. The EP was reissued with demos and live tracks as One Way Ticket in 2008.
