Ping Pong over the Abyss
 The 77s released their debut album in 1982 on the Exit Records label.One song from that album Renaissance Man was later recorded by The Ocean Blue. It's So Sad was later rerecorded with a drastically different arrangement by Roe's other band the Lost Dogs for their album MUTT. The title comes from Allen Ginsberg's poem Howl section 3: I'm with you in Rockland / where you scream in a straight jacket that you're losing the game of the actual ping pong of the abyss.
