Originally recorded in 1995 and copied to four cassette tapes, one for each band member, and one for some guy named Howard Wulkan, an Earache Records executive. In 2001 the decision was made to self-release the recording on vinyl. A test press was made by Menace to Sobriety Records. Three copies of the test press were distributed: two were given to Seth Putnam (lead singer) and the third was kept by the owner of Menace to Sobriety Records.
