The *Alphabutt* sessions were completed on February 21, 2008, and the full album was released on [K Records](/source/K_Records) in September 2008.[8] Nine of the ten original songs have also appeared on self-released [EP](/source/Extended_play) entitled *Alphabutt E.Pee* sold on Kimya's world tour in 2007.[9] Each copy of the EP came in a unique hand-decorated folder of colored cardboard held together by a string. The folder contained an *Alphabutt* CD-R, a handwritten fact sheet and nine sheets of drawings on pink paper - one for each song. The flipside of the folder reads "made with love at the great crap factory". Against previous plans, the retail CD did not come with a children's book: "I decided to just release it as a cd, because then it will be out much faster. I am going to make a book for kids another time. It will take forever to get a book completed but the cd is so close to being done. It is a crazy album! I am really excited about it."[10] ## Track listing No. Title Writer(s) Length 1. "Little Monster Babies" Kimya Dawson 1:26 2. "Alphabutt" Dawson, Jason Carmer 0:55 3.
