The title and the cover of the EP is based on the Boston hardcore compilation This Is Boston, Not L.A.. Zafio Records co-founder Jesse Luscious loved the original Boston compilation so much he chose to pay homage to it through this release of 4 of the best young east bay punk bands of the time. It was the first or close to the first official release of each band. All 4 were growing in popularity in the local do-it-yourself punk scene at 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California.

The EP was reissued in 2011 on Zafio Records by Jesse Luscious in a one-time repressing of 1,000 copies on white colored vinyl. Each copy was hand-numbered and contained a free mp3 version of the 4 songs. The EP was remixed by Noah Landis (of Neurosis, Blister, Christ on Parade, Everything Must Go) and remastered by George Horn of Fantasy Studios.

The AFI song "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing" features background vocals by Tim Armstrong of the band Rancid. This song was re-recorded for AFI's album Very Proud of Ya, but was only featured on the vinyl version.
