"Pezcore" was the first full compact disc released by the Ska punk band Less Than Jake, originally released on Dill Records in 1995. The album was later reissued on Asian Man, but was missing two tracks found on the Dill version ("Jeffersons" and "Laverne and Shirley").

In 2002, Less Than Jake released a tenth anniversary version of "Pezcore" to celebrate the band's 10 years of existence. Issued on Less Than Jake drummer Vinnie Fiorello's Fueled by Ramen label, the 2002 re-release was noteworthy in that the songs were completely remixed and remastered from the original recording sessions.

The band announced on January 5, 2008 that another reissue of "Pezcore" will be released on the band's label, Sleep It Off Records. The record was re-released on March 18, 2008 accompanied with a live DVD.

ong Information

*"Liquor Store" originally appeared on Better Class Of Losers CS (rerecorded)
*The story behind "Johnny Quest Thinks We're Sellouts": "Ha. Well, he's a friend of mine, I've know since elementary school. He's an architect student at the University of Florida, in Gainesville, Florida, where we're from. And we played this show in town, it was a battle of the bands and we won, and we got to play at the great opening of this record store, and this guy wrote in his work office at the Architect School, "Less Than Jake are sellouts". And as for the name Johnny Quest, that was his moniker, his nickname, he never heard us before or anything. He just wrote it just because. So we just shrugged our shoulders and decided to write a silly song about it." -Chris
