I've had this comp for quite a few years now, but have never really known much information about it. I've been told that Issa from Good Clean Fun recorded these songs at his studio in Atlanta during the mid 90s, and put out this cd. It seems as though at least a few bands weren't too stoked on him using these songs for this cd.Here's the tracklist:

Oh man, I've been looking for this comp since I left it at my college radio station like 9 years ago. Thank you!
i was the singer of the band Line Drive who appears on this comp. it's funny to see this thing floating around on the internet, I didn't think anyone ever heard it.
the story was that issa diao "forced" every band that came in to his studio to record a cover song. even if you didn't know one...just make one up on the spot. at our first recording session with him, we did "straight edge revenge" which was originally supposed to be on a project x covers 7" that never came out. according to issa, that session birthed the "atlanta back-ups" vocal style, which, i guess, just meant a shit ton of people screaming into a single microphone, and then randomly talking. not so sure if that's a legitimate "style", but oh well.
anyhoo, the next time we came to his studio we ended up quickly learning a version of "true til death" that was renamed "true til jeff" in tribute to atlanta scene maven jeff-j-jawk. again, this song was supposed to come out on an all jeff-j-jawk tribute record (other aborted titles..."jawk is cheap") which not surprisingly, never saw the light of day.
so there you go, a long story you weren't expecting to hear, but i'm bored on a sunday morning, and i appreciate you making the music available.
Oh man, you just made my day. I had this CD, and have been looking for it, forever! I LOVE Thenceforward's "Walk Like an Egyptian" Good ole ATL DIY days!
jawk is cheap...
