The demo was recorded in drummer Scott Raynor's bedroom, and was recorded live on a four-track and involved no mixing. It was released on Fags In The Wilderness records, which wasn't an authentic label and was only used as a joke on this demo. Tom sold copies of the tape during lunch at school. The artwork was done by Mark, who also came up with the name for the demo. Coincidently, the album's artwork has an "A" on it. Nearly every album after this would be titled accordingly (B for Buddha, C for Cheshire, D for Dude, E for Enema), after Enema of the State, each album would have the letter hidden in the artwork.
