This specific album is often categorized as a "semi-official" release or high-quality bootleg. The band's official website has previously stated the album was released without their permission and was sourced from a radio broadcast. It is notable for featuring Danny Heatley on drums, who would later play with Shane MacGowan's subsequent band, The Popes.
