About

This album was put out after the band had split with their label East/West Records. As a result Ginger encouraged fans Not to buy the record. He didn't approve the tracklisting (more greatest hits than best of) or the artwork (which was recycled from the bands Debut Vinyl EP Mondo Akimbo A Go-Go) and felt the one new exclusive track (The brilliant Beautiful Me, Beautiful You) made the price of an album a rip off for hard core fans.
