From the now defunct Plainfield web site:
"7th 7" MELVINS/PLAINFIELD -- Live Bootleg COWBOY/HILLBILLY Ten and a half minutes per side pure onslaught of live emo hillbilly rock.You have to forgive the MELVINS for this one could be their gateway to a new world of cowboy fashion . we have no ideal where this one came from! Plainfield went on tour with the MELVINS, and ham this little billy goat of a record showed up at our p.o. box. we only got 15 of these,so there 10 bucks apiece and some tanning salt."

KFJC new album review (November 29, 1995)
In between song banter from live shows. The Melvins side is mostly Buzzo trying to stop fights, feedback, riffs, etc.. The Plainfield side however, is sheer genius. The rip-gut audience relations of one "Smelly Mustapha"-leader of the band and the hillbilly answer to G.G. Allin. Witness the spectacle.
