Wildly prolific, Yorktown, Illinois-based Oval-Teen charmed the hearts of indie pop fans in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The band's light, charming sound quickly garnered the band a small but committed following. The band's early, limited releases on small indie labels such as Fruit Striped Records, Debris Records, Robin Hood Records, Mr. Whiggs Records, and Motorway Records set the groundwork for the band's fanbase.

After years of prolific songwriting and recording, the ambitious Yorkville, IL 53-song retrospective double-disc was finally set for release in 2004 on Bi-Fi Records.
