Up on the Sun is the third ___MASK95___ by the Meat Puppets , released in 1985 by ___MASK100___ . The ___MASK95___ features a cleaner and more technical sound with a more psychedelic rock feel , in contrast to the sloppy punk approach of their first ___MASK95___ ( 1982 ), while continuing with the mystical , poetic lyrics and country - inflected songwriting of " Meat Puppets II " ( 1984 ). Swimming Ground is a promotional release by The Meat Puppets to coincide with the new Up on the Sun ___MASK52___ . Albums of recorded music were developed in the early 20th century , first as books of individual 78rpm records , then from 1948 as vinyl LP records played at rpm . Vinyl LPs are still issued , though in the 21st century ___MASK95___ sales have mostly focused on compact disc ( CD ) and MP3 formats . The audio cassette was a format used from the late 1970s through to the 1990s alongside vinyl . ___MASK100___ is an American independent record label formed in 1978 in Long Beach , California by musician Greg Ginn .
