Burritos, Inspiration Point, Fork Balloon Sports, Cards in the Spokes, Automatic Biographies, Kites, Kung Fu, Trophies, Banana Peels We've Slipped On and Egg Shells We've Tippy Toed Over is Cap'n Jazz's only full-length studio album, released in 1995 on Man With Gun Records. It is also referred to as the Shmap'n Shmazz LP. It is long out of print and extremely difficult to find. There was also a reissue of the vinyl LP licensed by Tiny Superhero records in the UK.

The twelve tracks found on this album are also found on Analphabetapolothology – a double CD containing all of Cap'n Jazz's recorded material – released in 1998 by Jade Tree Records.
