Background

edit

All three songs on the single were recorded during the Breaking Things sessions in March and April 1993 at Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, with the record producer and recording engineer John Hampton.[1] Stevenson and guitarist Stephen Egerton also produced the recordings, and Skidd Mills and Jeffrey Reed worked as assistant engineers.[1] Milo Aukerman, of All's precursor band the Descendents, sang backing vocals on the tracks.[1] The recordings were mastered by John Golden at K-Disc in Hollywood, and the "Guilty" single was released through Cruz Records as a 10-inch single and CD single.

"Guilty" was used in the soundtrack to the 1995 film Mallrats, and was included on the accompanying soundtrack album.[2]
