All songs recorded at the Pod, where we lived for a year and 10 months (with our cat Mandee). 'Recorded by Dean and Gene Ween on a Tascam four-track cassette recorder between January and October 1990. The copy of the Leonard Cohen record that Ween used had purportedly belonged to Dean Ween's mother. The album's cover art is a takeoff of the 1975 The Best of Leonard Cohen cover Ween simply positioned a photo of part-time bassist Mean Ween's head (wearing a 'nitrous oxide powered bong' which is sometimes mistaken for a 'Scotchgard bong') over Cohen's cover art, and altered the title text and other graphics.

Robyn Hitchcock is credited with 'musical inspiration' for the track 'Alone', which borrows elements from his song 'Bones in the Ground'.

The album was derived from two tapes titled the Bilboa tape and the Big Timmy Wasserman tape. Recording concluded one month prior to the release of their debut on November 16th.
