Album information
The album was originally planned as a two-disc collection, to be released on November 27.[2] After a tour with The Rentals, however, Aaron Marsh's voice was extremely fatigued and irritated by acid reflux. Several of the songs planned to be on the record needed vocals, so the band decided to leave them off. The band also did not want the album to be too highly priced. They said, "We didn't want this album to be expensive for anyone to buy, especially since many of these tracks are out there already. Since double-disc sets are traditionally more expensive, we couldn't guarantee that retailers would keep the price reasonable." They decided to release a second volume or companion EP at some time in the near future.[3]
