First album by the Barking Dogs.
This is the first official release from the band. There had been multiple handmade cassettes over the years, but this album from 1991 was the first to be pressed as CD and cassette and distributed commercially in record shops around France.
The album was 100% financed by the band, and released through WMD distribution (part of the FNAC Group)
It has sold over 10,000 copies
