Kramer also played with another poet-rock band, The Fugs, and was also responsible for absolutely drenching Galaxie 500's sound in reverb. He basically defined the sound of that band for its duration. You can here it in the King Missle recording as well. I do remember the song quite being played quite a bit though.We recorded at Kramer's place where he lived in New Jersey. He was an amazing producer, but he's also completely out of his fucking mind. He lived there with his wife and their baby. Him and his crazy wife were always yelling at each other. The baby was spitting up and I was like, 'That's what babies do, so of course he's spitting up because you both are skinny, insane people and the baby is probably already absorbing your anxiety."
Marc Maron's "Dr. Steve" was in King Missile, and talks about it at great length on this episode of WTF. http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episodes/episode_230_-_dr._ste... It's unfortunately blocked behind a paywall, but I'm sure you can find it elsewhere. I can't recall much from the interview other than that I enjoyed it. Sorry.
I had to look this song up. Even after listening to it, I didn't recall it. This was released when I was very much in to listening to lots of music and watching MTV a ton. It must have been a very, very underground hit. The article says it hit #25 on the billboard top 100 though, which is nothing to scoff at. -Guess I blocked out "detachable penis'.
Jesus Was way Cool was pretty popular at the time as well.
