Rancid were formed in 1991 in Berkeley, California, by Matt Freeman and Tim Armstrong, both of whom were former members of Operation Ivy and Downfall (6).
Rancid includes Armstrong on guitar and vocals, Freeman on bass and vocals, Brett Reed on drums and Lars Frederiksen on guitar and vocals. Reed left the band in 2006 and was replaced by Branden Steineckert, former drummer of The Used. As of November 2006, Armstrong and Freeman have been permanent members of the band and Frederiksen did not join Rancid until 1993 after the band was searching for a second guitar player.

All information is on a single-sheet frontcover.
The vinyl has plain black labels on both sides.
Matrix etchings have been scratched out.
It is actually not a Rancid release, but Downfall - the band Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman formed with Dave Mello, Pat Mello, and Jason Hammon after Operation Ivy split up. They had one studio recording session, but split up to form Rancid just a few week later. These songs should have been released on 10" by the Lookout record label, but the mastertapes were not mixed and afterwards lost.
The name of the song is misspelled, it`s "North Berkley" not "No Berkley".
