Daddy Has a Tail is the second studio album by Minneapolis-based noise rock band Cows and their first to be released through Amphetamine Reptile Records in July, 1989.

Recording

The album was recorded and mixed by David B. Livingstone, who at the time was the guitarist for God Bullies, and producer Tim Mac. Originally, the record had been mixed to videotape but the result was of poor quality, forcing Mac and Livingstone to remix the entire album from scratch within the relatively short time span of 4 hours. Livingstone has said, "I always felt that they got really screwed. I felt really bad." and that he intends to eventually remix the entire album from the original masters.^[3]

Release

The album was never released on its own on CD. It can be found on the Old Gold 1989-1991 compilation released in 1996, although mysteriously lacking the song "Chow". Amphetamine Reptile Europe released the album in its full form on a two-for-one CD that included "Peacetika", although "I Miss Her Beer" and "Sugar" are combined into one track.
