Ween 's third studio album, and the first to be released on a major label. Originally released in 1992 throughElektra Records , it features what is perhaps Ween's most well-known song, "Push th' Little Daisies ." "Push th' Little Daisies" was released as a single on August Records in 1993, including both the Album and Radio Edit versions of the song (the latter replacing the word "shit" with a sample of Prince squealing) and the tracks "Ode to Rene," "I Smoke Some Grass (Really Really High)" and "Mango Woman."Many of the songs on this album come from two tapes that the band made for friends, the first being titled "Springtape", and the second titled "The Caprice Classic Tape", as stated by Dean Ween on JJJ radio in 1993. "Pure Guava" marked the last time the group would record on a four-track until 2007's "La Cucaracha".
