The title track of this budget EP was recorded live on WGN Radio in the Spring of 1994. The song, detailing a relationship with a slowly dying friend, became a heavy request item. It was written and performed by Ralph Covert, leader of Chicago's top pop-rock band, The Bad Examples. Steve Gerlach, The Bad Examples' former lead guitarist, accompanies Covert.

The net profits from the wholesale price will benefit the Leukemia Research Foundation. In addition to "Adam McCarthy" there is a previously unreleased acoustic band version of the Bad Examples favorite, "Promises In The Dark," recorded live for Dutch Radio VARA on their 1992 European tour. The original version is on the Bad Is Beautiful album. Two tracks from Covert's solo project, Eat At Godot's, both of which received album radio play, are included.
