Liner Notes
At the time of its release this was At the Drive-In’s highest charting album ranking 95 on the US Billboard 200 and 34 on the Australian Albums chart.
Per Jim Ward regarding the track selection:
“I was just adamant about certain things staying off it. There was just some stuff I wanted to stay special, like those early seven-inches. If you have them, then you have them because you were in a certain place at a certain time. I wanted to keep it special for those people if it makes sense. It’s not that they’re embarrassing to me, it’s because I wanted them to remain intimate with those people who were there when we slept on their floors. We were putting out 500 seven-inches even though people sell them on eBay for more than I had to put them out with. I still prefer it that way. I like that culture; I’m part of that culture. I didn’t want everything homogenized into one album. I’m not a big [fan] of “greatest hits” or whatever, but I understand that’s part of what labels do. I wasn’t really a big part of it to be honest with you.”
