This compilation was released to showcase Bay Area punk bands that were playing at Berkeley's Gilman Street Project in the late 1980s.

Original first-pressing has Lookout's old Laytonville address on it and a blue jacket. 4000 copies were pressed on black vinyl. Released with a 24-page newsprint booklet with info on the bands and lyrics. The booklet claims the first 50 copies were pressed on orange vinyl, however this is not true.

Repressed on 2xLP with orange jacket and various colored vinyl ( salmon marble, lavender marble, yellow w/red streaks, green-blue w/red splatter, multi-colored splatter, green marble and black vinyl ) Laytonville address and 1988 printed on back cover with old lookout logo.
Later repressed by Lookout in 1992 with a pink jacket and Berkeley address on back with newer lookout logo. Re-issued on CD in February, 2002 by Lookout!

Corrupted Morals and No Use For A Name were done at Art Of Ear [sic] studio in S.F. engineered by Andy.
Eyeball was recorded at Razors Edge in S.F. Knobs twisted by Jonathan. Crimpshrine, Stikky and Sweet Baby were engineered by Kevin Army. Crimp and Stikky at Dancing Dog in Emeryville, S.B. at the late Dangerous Rhythm by the Fruitvale BART station. Nuisance engineered by Jeff Landen at Vinyl Taco in Arcata. Vomit Launch and the Mr. T Experience engineered by Greg at Lowdown Studios in S.F. Sewer Trout and Well Hung Monks were done at Underground Studio in Sacramento and then mixed at S.R.E. engineered by Frank. Cringer was recorded at LMU which is some school down south. Operation Ivy was done at Gilman and Points West by Radley and Mark. Plaid Retina and Capitol Punishment engineered by Gray Gregson at A.I.R. in Fresno. Neighborhood Watch engineered by Randy at Hit Single in San Diego. Assisted by Pedro. Steelpole Bathtub was recorded at Milk Cult in S.F. abd produced by the band. Surrogate Brains engineered by Gary Young at Louder Than You Think Studios in Stockton. Raskul was done somewhere in the East Bay. Complete Disorder was recorded in the North Bay and then mixed by Alex at Dancing Dog.

Edited at S.R.E. in October '88 in about seven hours by Alex and David. Mastered in November by the incredibly understanding John Golden at KDisc in Hollywood. Hotel Accommadations [sic] courtesy of Cringer Motor Lounge and Flipside Inn. Processed (I'm still not sure just what processing entails) at Greg Lee Processing. Labels printed by Max at G&M Graphics. Pressed at Alberti by Frank or John or John Jr. Covers printed by Stoughton. Booklets by Lakeport. Skankin' folks and logos on the cover by Twist. All other cover, label, and booklet art and layout by David Hayes (that's me). Band 1/2 pagers by the bands, though many were submitted in very interesting sizes and I had to modify and/or mutilate them accordingly. Lots of bands should have been on here, but just imagine trying to organize this mess, and you might better understand why bands like M.D.C., Tally Hoe, Reason to Believe, Offspring, Jackson Saints, Crummy Musicians, all the great Santa Rosa bands and so on and so forth didn't quite fit on. Blah blah etc. etc. etc. etc.
