Background and recording

In the summer of 2011, Less Than Jake released a limited edition EP, entitled Greetings from Less Than Jake , with a follow-up, Seasons Greetings from Less Than Jake , arriving in early 2012. In October 2012, the band decided to combine the two to create a full-length album. The band's US label, Fat Wreck Chords stated, "Over the last year, Less Than Jake sold a couple of new EPs on tour. Unfortunately, with the reach of the new EPs limited to those who could attend a show, and with some of their strongest material in years, it seemed like a proper album was in order. So the band assembled the two EPs, added two previously unreleased bonus tracks, and re-sequenced everything into one cohesive record, Greetings and Salutations." [3]
