My nieghbors, Justin & Kimi Smith, and Jessica Massay (the dancing queen will dance again). All the talented people in the Oklahoma music scene who inspire me by playing live music around the town, seven nights a week; You are the safe-haven of our day. Thanks to anyone who has listened to Stephen Speaks music and spread the word.
There is no thanks big enough for my family, who has done nothing but support me with all they have, especially my best friend turned step-brother, Dain, who has seen me through all things, against all odds. Above the rest, I thank my mother, the most valuable thing I inherited at birth; She always let me play, even when the stiffs in the world tried to stop me, or told me it was silly. In her honor, I extend a special thanks to all the parents out there who let their children play... without you, we wouldn't have music at all.

Notes from the producer:
This album is a conglomeration of different favorites of Stephen Speaks since the beginning of the entire concept. All songs were originally released, but I assure you, you don’t want all the original releases. We were young and inexperienced, but the great parts have been kept, the bad parts have been done better, and this EP is a standing gem from the early years of my musical career. Since it has been through so many years of scrutiny and re-vamping, it is one of the strongest five song release as it can be… if I do say so myself. It was declared platinum by Warner Music Philippines in 2003, and was one of the first truly independent/garage albums to cross international borders and become a phenomenon. More than that, it has sold copies every since day since the day it was released, which is nearly ten years now, has had scores of millions of internet related plays… with no marketing budget, only word of mouth. I suppose there is no fact that can do it more justice than that.
