Ten Years And Running

Ten Years and Running is a 2002 compilation album by MxPx. Released on Tooth and Nail Records, there are nineteen songs spanning MXPX’s career, mostly from Tooth and Nail released but includes a song each from the A&M releases “Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo,” “The Ever Passing Moment,” “the Broken Bones,” and Fat Wreck Chords’ “Renaissance EP.” The band self-produced a re-recording of “Punk Rawk Show” and two new songs, “My Mistake” and “Running Away” for the compilation. A music video was made for “My Mistake.” Tim Palmer either mixed or re-mixed all of the songs except “My Life Story” and “the Broken Bones.”

The album is not a “greatest hits” album, as it omits the well-known singles “Responsibility” and “I’m OK, You’re OK,” but is considered a retrospective of the first ten years of MXPX. The booklet accompanying the CD features many previously unreleased photographs of the band, as well as a detailed timeline of moments in the band’s career.
