Very Proud of Ya

This would be the first time AFI would work with a producer (and since it was a horrible experience they wouldn’t work with one again until 2000’s The Art of Drowning). The album, although 24 songs in length (hidden track on the CD, and 3 vinyl only tracks) actually only consisted of 14 new songs, one of which is the hidden instrumental “No Dave Party” before “He Who Laughs Last…” on the CD version of the album. 8 songs had all been previously released on AFI’s earlier 7”es and 2 more were on their first LP, 1995’s Answer That and Stay Fashionable. 8 of the previously released songs were re-recorded for this release with the intent of getting the songs out to people who may have missed out on the earlier years of the bands career, thus not being able to have purchased those limited 7”es that the songs originally appeared on. The other two were re-recorded because they were Dexter’s favorite songs off of Answer That and Stay Fashionable, so he asked them to do ‘em again.

Trivia:
- US Edition (error pressing)(no CD image/artwork)(quantity unknown - only ONE (1) is known to exist)
- US Edition (test pressing)(23 Tracks - no Theory Of Revolution, track 1 is No Dave Party, contains Vinyl Only tracks) (quantity unknown)
- A copy of Very Proud of Ya has just been discovered on Opaque Dark Green Vinyl with slight Black and White Marbling! This rare find has the songs for Side B pressed on both sides of the record.
