The Blue Hearts' previous American release, the self-titled CD/12" vinyl EP, was a 6 song compilation with selections from their self-titled first album, "The Blue Hearts", and their second album, "
Young and Pretty ". As with their first American release, this album was also a compilation of songs: this time from their first album and their third, "Train-Train".
