Thoughts of Yesterday:1981–1982 is a compilation album of early material by the American hardcore punk band T.S.O.L.,released in 1987 by Posh Boy Records. It combines the band's two EPs,1981's T.S.O.L. and 1982's Weathered Statues,as well as an early version of "Peace Thru' Power",a song that was re-recorded for their first full-length album Dance with Me (1981). The album's release stemmed from a dispute between T.S.O.L. and Posh Boy owner Robbie Fields that began when the band left Posh Boy after releasing T.S.O.L.,moving to Frontier Records for Dance with Me. Fields maintained that the band owed his label another EP,and withheld royalties from them as a result. The dispute culminated in singer Jack Grisham punching Fields in the face. Several years later,after Grisham and drummer Todd Barnes had both left T.S.O.L.,a settlement was negotiated in which the band members received back royalty payments and Posh Boy acquired the rights to Weathered Statues,originally released through Alternative Tentacles. Posh Boy combined the two EPs to create Thoughts of Yesterday.
