"Takers and Leavers" is an EP by Dr. Dog. It was released a year before their LP, "We All Belong", which re-released "Ain't It Strange" and "Die Die Die".

The first 1000 copies had custom covers, which featured various images and assortments of random art. The standard EP was produced later that month. [ [http://www.jsrdirect.com/webstores/parkthevan/#DrDog Park the Van Official Store] , "parkthevan.com", retrieved 26 February, 2008]

Title of EP

The title "Takers and Leavers" from a poem recited at the end of "Livin' a Dream", the ultimate track of the EP.

Well, I know there's always been greed and green acres, and war and peace makers. And then there's your takers and your leavers, your havers and your needers.
