General notes about this release (please note: our version may differ a little. see the comments above):

Recorded live on 11/12/76 at Frank's Place, Toronto.

℗&© 1977 Dog Records, 7 Inkerman, St., Toronto, Canada M4Y IM5.

This is guitarist Michael Brook's first recording. He invented the Infinite Guitar.

There is a classified ad in the back of issue No.5 of Shades magazine (August 1979) that says the following: "FLIVVA'S album (sympathetic ear), a limited Dog 001 release, it still available at Sam's, Records on Wheels, Record Peddler, Millwheel, Canadian Spaces, Beachside Records Works and specially Cheap Thrills (Phil says buy here!). Peter Goddard said it was "a stunning work", "classy and controlled decadence". John Heimbecker, CKMS FM called it "rock and roll for the enlightened eighties", and "the best debut since QUEEN". Wilder Penfield referred to its "first rate songs" as "sardonic". SHADES No.4 encouraged Phil Schreibman to say lots fo things for himself. So don't miss it and then be sorry you did."

This confirms that the name of the band is indeed Flivva, and the name of the album is Sympathetic Ear.

Besides his activities as musician the New York artist Phillip Schreibman has translated successfully the visual expression of music in his paintings - compare:
