According to a statement by Dawson on the back cover, "This CD was originally released in Europe in 1992 without my permission. Not only that, the New Riders and the authors of the songs haven't seen any royalties, and probably won't from the release. Because of that I decided that we should release it 'legally'. The material here is quite enjoyable, and I like it! I hope you do too!" [3]
