Paintin' the Town Brown serves as a live retrospective for the group, a 2-CD set containing songs from Ween's very first live shows (which were simply Dean, Gene, and a DAT deck) to Ween's tour in support of The Mollusk (though no songs from that particular album are featured).
This album was initially meant to be the first release on Ween's own record label Chocodog, but Elektra took the project away from the group and released it themselves. This would serve as part of the basis for Ween's departure from Elektra.

gollark: I probably need more commas, yes.
gollark: IIRC the Pi cameras are significantly more expensive than you'd expect because the Raspberry Pi Foundation actually has the drivers locked down to only allow cameras with a crypto chip from them to be used.
gollark: Doesn't the Pi 4 have problems with those because they wired the resistors wrong or something? Also, this is a Pi 3B.
gollark: It charges faster than usual but is *maybe* destroying the battery.
gollark: I have a nice 3-port one which can do 2A per port for my phone and stuff.
