Right Now, You're in the Best of Hands. And If Something Isn't Quite Right, Your Doctor Will Know in a Hurry is the debut album by the post-hardcore band Bear vs. Shark.

Contents

It is commonly referred to as "Right Now, You're in the Best of Hands..." due to its long name. The name of the album is derived from a sign that singer Marc Paffi saw and thought was interesting.

The first vinyl pressing of the album featured two bonus tracks, which appear at the beginning of the album as opposed to the end of it. The vinyl version also has completely different artwork than the CD. [2]

The album was pressed a second time on the UK's Big Scary Records and was limited to 250 hand-numbered copies. [3]
