The EP was released on December 13, 1986 on the band's own label UZI Suicide with a print run of 10,000 copies and contains four titles, all of which are studio recordings with a well-rehearsed live audience. This procedure was chosen because they avoided the financial expense of a "real" concert recording. All contained titles can also be found on the A-side on the EP G N 'R Lies ,released in 1988, as well as the artwork of the cover .
