Come is 1's only album. The band had been signed by Paul Kantner to Grunt Records. Pat Ieraci was assigned to help produce the album, and encountered the lead singer, named Reality D. Blipcrotch, demanding such things as a marijuana leaf popping out of the record, and the record self-destructing at the end of side B.

Contents

The keyboardist of the band, Roger Crissinger, had previously played with Pearls Before Swine. The drummer, Mark Baker, would later drum with Ministry on the album Houses of the Molé.
