It was the band's final release for Stony Plain Records. Side one of the album includes five tracks from their out-of-print 1984 album Spirit of the West, and side two presents a 1986 live performance from the Vancouver East Cultural Centre.
The live performance showcases a band already quite skilled at the crowd-pleasing sense of showmanship that would become their trademark, especially when John Mann flubs the beginning of "General Guinness" from laughing too hard at the clownish antics of bandmates J. Knutson and Geoffrey Kelly.

gollark: Yes, I was just wrong and bad.
gollark: Don't proper password hashing algorithms make it take effectively the same time in some magic way.
gollark: oh no.
gollark: Yes, I think that's mostly a problem if you're directly comparing secret values of some sort, and not really for hashes.
gollark: > ah so add like a random delay before it returns, or something?... no, they could filter that out using magic, you need a constant time comparison thing.
