It was released in December, 1991 on Roadrunner Records and contained two newly recorded tracks from two-fifths of the line up who had appeared on the previous album.

Josh Pappe had got married and was replaced by Kevin Brooks on bass. Fritz Ericson had retired and was replaced by Mike Lucantonio on guitar. Brian Betzger left to start a pool hall and was replaced in a touring capacity by Walter Gustafson – the drummer in the band who left in 1984. Gustafson left before this album and was replaced once again, by Brian Betzger.

The material is evenly gleaned from previous albums: three tracks from Another Wasted Night, two from You Got It, two from the EP I81B4U, and three from their last studio album, Older... Budweiser.

The album's opening and closing tracks were newly recorded by the new line-up in September, 1991. These two songs were the last new songs to be created by Doherty and Co until 1997, when an EP, Back & Gacked was swiftly followed by a new album, Another Case Of Brewtality and a re-issue of their pre-Another Wasted Night material, Preschool – all on their original independent label, Taang.

Overview

The new material is best described as more metal than punk, complete with bluesy guitar solos, but is still undeniably Gang Green.

gollark: I have parts of the EATW source from someone, but not much and it's in PHP (*ewww*).
gollark: I had a hatchery (briefly) based on a similar system using some data from it, but TJ09 shut it down.
gollark: ARing is easy enough and works without it being yours, but you need UVs.
gollark: An interesting idea. If you ever do actually want that, tell me and I should be able to do that.
