Despite the studio's destruction, she had made a safety master and was able to press the record, with research indicating that 100 copies were made, contrary to the liner notes claiming only 75. The additional copies were distributed to local radio DJs for promotional purposes. The Keggs were rediscovered by compiler Tim Warren in 1984 while he was in Los Angeles. He spent two days parked outside the home of a former band member in Detroit, eventually acquiring two more copies.
