'' was the first official release by
Alternative Hip Hop group
Jurassic 5 . It was an
EP that included much of the material that would later appear on '''''Jurassic 5 LP'''''.
The first version to be released contained 9 tracks and was available in
CD Single or double-
12" Single formats. It was released in October 1997 on the band's own short-lived label,
Rumble/Pickininny Records .
Although the label only released that one record, it did give the band a platform and allowed them to be heard.

'' was Jurassic 5's
Debut Album . The material from the EP plus a few additional tracks were repackaged as an album and released by
Pan Records as ''Jurassic 5'' in 1998.
It is entitled simply ''Jurassic 5'', although in some listings it is referred to as ''Jurassic 5 LP'', as "LP" appears on the album sleeve (including the CD version). This also serves to distinguish it from the ''Jurassic 5 EP''.

The following year, Jurassic 5 were picked up a major label,
Interscope Records . Their first release on Interscope was the re-issue of the ''Jurassic 5 EP'' in an 8 track version in 1999. This had the same listing as the original EP, excluding the final track ''Blacktop Beat''.
Thereafter, they released their major label debut album,
Quality Control in June 2000.
The Jurassic 5 logos on both the album and the EP were designed by
Chali 2na .
