Washington, D.C.'s Slickee Boys' third "proper" album (not including compilations or live releases), Uh Oh… No Breaks! was released on LP and cassette in March 1985 by Twin/Tone (a Minneapolis label best known for having released The Replacements' early records) with the catalog number TTR 8544. Almost half of the album is re-recorded versions of songs they had previously released. There are cover version of songs originally by the French band the Dogs, 1960s garage band the Squires, Perry Como (by way of the Downliners Sect), and D.C. all-star punkers the Afrika Korps (a band which included a few Slickee Boys).
