In the early 1970s Herfy's was a popular, inexpensive fast food hamburger take-out restaurant chain based in the Seattle area. Their top - of - the line menu offering was the Hefty Burger. As of 2021 a few Herfy's outlets still exist in the Puget Sound region.
Although no disc has been found, there may have been a B - B
"Scream (It's Eating Me Alive) " - Mono/Stereo - pressing of this disc on the Sea-West label (SWRC 7745).

MISC NOTES: This was a heavy metal parody project done by some members of the folk-rock band, Bluebird. It was meant to mock Michigan's Grand Fun Railroad. It remains unclear if "Scream" mono / "Scream" stereo tracks alone, were issued on both Grand Theft and Sea-West labels. Another uncertainty is whether or not there are both 7" and 12" discs featuring only the mono/stereo tracks.
