Jandek's first album, Ready for the House, though obviously a solo work, was originally credited to a band called The Units. As explained in an interview in the first issue of Spin, Sterling Smith (Jandek's real name) was forced to change the name by The Units, an identically named Californian group already in possession of a trademark on the name, after Scott Ryser from The Units wrote Smith a letter with documentation. All reissues of this first album and all subsequent Corwood releases have been credited to "Jandek". Here's the letter Scott Ryser from the UNITS wrote to Jandek and the U.S. Trademark.
