Background

In 1996, Glorium recorded material with producer John Croslin in his studio with the hopes of releasing a full-length album.[2] After no interest from any labels, the band self-released a 7-inch single of Black Market Hearts b/w Walkie-Talkie on Golden Hour Records. The rest of the Croslin material was not used until Fantasmas.

In 2005 the band began to discuss releasing a compilation of these and other previously-released vinyl recordings, as well as outtakes from other recording sessions throughout their active career.

Paul Streckfus designed the CD artwork.
