They Might Be Giants' first official release was a one-sided 7" flexi-disc (round, not square) in 1985, produced by Bill Krauss and engineered by Al Houghton (with drum programming by Chris Butler). The tracks were "Everything Right is Wrong" and "You'll Miss Me", both of which resurfaced in drastically re-arranged versions on THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS and LINCOLN, respectively. The "Wiggle-Diskette" (as the record pronounces itself) was released on TMB Music. Its cover features a photo of a young girl at a wool machine threading wool, with a small photo of the Johns (looking demented) at the bottom. At the top, the simple yet elegant words "THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS" in an elongated Helvetica. It was limited-edition 1000, released on January 1, 1985. —Myke Weiskopf, Early Years Handbook
