Recorded live to 2-track, the EP was funded with Jim Ward's college savings and released on 7-inch through the bands own Western Breed Records.[2] Later releases were done in 1995 and 2000 through Offtime Records.

The EP is the only recording by the band to feature original drummer Bernie Rincon, who died shortly after it was released.[3] The title is play on words of the band's hometown, El Paso, the song "Grand Mox Turkin" also being a play on the name of the Star Wars character Grand Moff Tarkin.
