Official press release:
On March 21st, Jade Tree Records' 100th release will unearth another side of the impassioned hardcore of Lifetime. The double-disc, Somewhere In The Swamps Of Jersey, not only contains singles, compilation tracks, covers and demos, but also two versions of their crucial, out-of-print 1993 debut, Background. Disc one's version has been completely remixed to now foreshadow the tight, loud and exuberant sound that would eventually define the band. Disc two presents a remaster of the untouched original, complete with the bonus live set. A 52-page perfect-bound book of liner notes, lyrics and over 40 rare photographs completes this collector’s dream.

You can still get "Background" off the New Age Records site. No lie! Check it out yourself, chickenheads.
