During the 1980s, the Booth brothers lived in California and were heavily involved in music. During this time, they recorded multiple songs. Two songs on the album, "Chemistry" and "Ulterior Motives", were previously featured in the 1986 pornographic film Angels of Passion.[4] "Chemistry" also saw use in the 1987 Disney TV movie Double Agent.[5]
Remastering and re-recording

After "Ulterior Motives" was discovered, the original vocal, synth, and lead guitar tracks recorded by the Booth brothers in 1985 were found to have been lost, which led to a rerecording of the song.[6] The remake of "Ulterior Motives" incorporated the original bass, drum and rhythm guitar tracks, as well as some samples from a rough mixtape of the original in the Booths' possession, which was too deteriorated to release in full.[citation needed]
Throughout the album's production, Christopher showcased the rerecording of "Ulterior Motives" on his Instagram page.[7][better source needed]
