Shannon shopped around this 1977 material with no success. By the time he got out of rehab and started working with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers on what would become the Petty-produced Drop Down and Get Me, the Dublin material “just sort of fell into the rear-view mirror.”[2] Shannon originally mixed and then remixed the tracks at Cherokee Studios in California but opted to never release them.[1]
Cleveland.com wrote: "Sometimes, when a record label unearths material from the vaults, one listen tells you why it stayed unreleased for so long. Other times, the tracks are good enough to make you wonder how they could have remained in the can until now.[3]
