Bewitched chronology

The Worst Poetry of 1986–1993 is a compilation by Bewitched, released in 2006 by B.B Gun. Released over a decade after the band's demise, the album compiles tracks taken from singles coupled with songs from the band's two studio albums, all of which were remastered by Wharton Tiers. The cover art pays homage to the independently produced and recorded vanity records of the 1960s, such as the infamous Philosophy of the World by The Shaggs.^[1]
