Edge of Obscurity Music Database entry for the It's in the Pillcase seven-inch, with a short review / description.

http://www.splendidezine.com/reviews/jul-21-97/melt.html
This has a review of the Ten Dollars a Pile / Disposable Weathercock seven-inch. The review is nonsense, but it has a 45 second RealAudio clip of "Ten Dollars a Pile": not the Scratch or Stitch version, but one which begins with a piano rearrangement of the song (which is pretty hilarious; it sounds like one of Bartok's Mikrokosmos).
