- Source: Peace Thru Vandalism / When in Rome Do as The Vandals
/info/peace" target="_blank">Peace /info/thru" target="_blank">Thru /info/vandalism" target="_blank">Vandalism / When in Rome Do as The Vandals is a compilation album by the American punk rock band The Vandals. It was originally released in 1989 by Restless Records (and later reissued Time Bomb Recordings, a record label founded by Social Distortion frontman Mike Ness). It is a CD re-release of the band's first EP, /info/peace" target="_blank">Peace /info/thru" target="_blank">thru /info/vandalism" target="_blank">Vandalism, and first LP, When in Rome Do as The Vandals, containing all of the tracks from both releases. The Restless version has the tracks from When In Rome Do As The Vandals first while the Time Bomb version has the two records in chronological order.
In the album's liner notes Brent Turner is credited as having performed all of the bass tracks on When in Rome Do as the Vandals, however by the time of that album's release Chalmer Lumary had joined the band on the bass position. Lumary is therefore listed in the liner notes as the band's official bass player. The liner notes also erroneously list Joe Escalante as writing and composing the entirety of the album's content, whereas the majority was written by Stevo and Jan Nils Ackermann. Furthermore, many tracks from /info/peace" target="_blank">Peace /info/thru" target="_blank">Thru /info/vandalism" target="_blank">Vandalism had been written and performed prior to Escalante's involvement in the band, adding to the suspicious nature of the inclusion.
