Betti-Cola is the 1993 debut album from Canadian cuddlecore group Cub.[2] [3] Originally released in fall of 1993, the album was remastered and re-released with bonus tracks in 2007 by Mint Records.
The album contains tracks taken from various 7-inch EPs as well as a handful of covers. A 12-song double EP 7-inch titled Betti Cola, with similar cover art, was released at roughly the same time as the CD.
The cover art is by Archie Comics cartoonist Dan DeCarlo.
Cub recorded Betti-Cola primarily with microphones and a Digital Audio Tape machine. The album was recorded in various locations, including in Olympia, Washington, and at CBC Television.[4]
