The Grifters, on the verge of releasing their first major label album on Sub Pop 1996, Shangri-La Records re-issued the first two self-released Grifters 7" singles as a 10", with a single per side and featuring a bonus track recorded in the same era. Though the vinyl version only Disfigurehead & the Kingdom of Jones, but known as The Doink Years because the original singles were released under the same Doink Records banner as their A Band Called Bud debut, Dad. The song "Snake Oil" features the debut of Stan Gallimore on drums, establishing the Grifters as four-piece for the rest of their career.
