It was released in 1987, a year after their previous release, Another Wasted Night, in 1986. It was their first for a major record label – Roadrunner Records – after leaving independent punk label, Taang.

Chris Doherty and Brian Betzger were the only surviving members from the previous album. Joe Gittleman replaced Glen Stilphen on bass, and Fritz Ericson replaced Chuck Stilphen on lead guitar after "a major dispute". The brothers had since formed a band of their own called Mallethead.

Overview edit

Earlier versions of "Let's Drink Some Beer" and "Another Bomb" can be found on the German version of the band's debut LP "Another Wasted Night" on Funhouse Records. A live version of "Haunted House" had previously appeared on the U.S. cassette version of "Another Wasted Night" on Taang! Records.

The Re-Release came as double-CD version featuring the tracks from the follow-up album "Older...Budweiser".
