Label: Water Under The Bridge Records

Issued in folded cardstock sleeve with small credits insert and download code. The sleeve is semi-glossy 'midnight' blue.

Some copies include a small, folded, yellow insert with artist and title and a blurb from Mike Watt: "The long lost Peer Group recordings now out with a voice and character all their own. Contemporaries of Saccharine Trust, the Minutemen and the early ’80s South Bay scene. A very significant band at a very intense time."
Some [promotion?] copies may include a second card-stock sleeve with the identical text/design, but with a lighter and more legible dull violet-blue background. (See Images.)
