Clam Dip & Other Delights is the 1989 EP from Minneapolis rockers Soul Asylum. The title and cover art are both parodies of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass's album Whipped Cream & Other Delights. It was a humorous nod to their new record label, A&M (the "A" standing for " Alpert"). Bassist Karl Mueller sat in for the original album's model, Dolores Erickson. Dave Ayers, the band's first manager, said that Mueller had to sit for hours in a foul-smelling combination of sour cream, paint, whipped cream and seafood. [4] Also, the album makes fun of the A&M logo being under the title of the album, incorporating the Twin/Tone Records logo instead.
The EP originally was released in Britain featuring three covers: Foreigner's "Juke Box Hero," Janis Joplin's "Move Over" and "Chains," by an obscure Minneapolis group called the Wad. Only "Chains" was included on the American release.
The song "P-9" was written to benefit striking Hormel workers in Austin, Minnesota.
It is currently in print on Rykodisc Records.
