Overview

After touring through much of 1982 following the release of Pirates, Rickie Lee Jones released the Girl at Her Volcano EP. It contains three live recordings, a few new studio ones and recordings left over from earlier studio sessions.

"Something Cool (Live)" was not included on the original vinyl EP release and was originally from a cassette tape recording. An earlier recording of this song can be found on Julie London's 1960 album, After Midnight.
