Originally released on Park Ave. and Greg Sage's label, TRAP. It was later re-issued on Sub Pop in 1993 with the Alien Boy EP as 4 bonus tracks and has now been re-issued on Greg Sage's own Zeno Records as part of a 3-CD set. The track list has been restored to its original order, thus omitting "Alien Boy" from the first 11 tracks. "Alien Boy" and the rest of the EP is included after the first 11 tracks, along with some previously unreleased tracks. Return of the Rat & D-7 have both been covered by Nirvana.
