Info from 'The Answer'

Writing process	Brett Gurewitz: "I spent the time between 1983 and 1987 developing a pretty phenomenal drug habit and learning how to be a recording engineer.

Rumors	There were rumors of an 8-track tape release of the album. However, Jay denied that rumor as Epitaph never released it. In fact It's said that no 8-tracks were released in the 80s at all.
