John Moore wrote, performed and recorded it.
He claims to "not really like this song all that much", but for some reason, it is probably the most requested of any of them. Marc Maddin says he likes it a lot.

Probably the lowest fidelity of any song in this collection of lo-fi recordings. 
The story goes- Joe Blanchard gave John Moore a tape of rough demos he had recorded (acoustic guitar and voice on an old-fashioned desktop cassette recorder).. John Moore found this song (Sarah Jeanie)- serious tape hiss and all- and decided to add electric guitar, bass and drums to it by slapping the tape into an old Tascam 4-track recorder... and the rest is history.
What is fidelity anyway?

Hey, how's it going?


Shrimpanzee - Opening Day - Gentler Waves

Shrimpanzee Volume 1, Shrimpanzee Volume 2 and "Orange" (including bonus material)

Celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the first Shrimpanzee recordings by presenting their first 3 "Albums" in their entirety!
In 2003, Shrimpanzee "released" Volume 1 (Spring), Volume 2 (Summer) and Orange (Fall). 

There were also 2 EP's: "Empty Flask" (early summer- featuring "Anna Belle Lee") and  "Alien Brushfire" (late summer - featuring "Alien Brushfire (first contact)").. 
Most of the material was written and recorded at Purgatory Sound Studio (an apartment) in Milford, Michigan

Shrimpanzee eventually morphed into a (mostly) proper group of real, live people with electric instruments who performed their brand of  Kimbockleophonic (Kimbockleosymphonic?) rock music for disinterested audiences around the Metro Detroit City Area.. and the rest is history and all that..

Thanks for listening!
