The songs, all original compositions, were recorded and self produced during the summer of 1983, at Dubway Studios in Manhattan, using a 1/4" four track, reel to reel tape machine. Legend has it that the album was recorded in one marathon, fourteen hour session. And originally, that was the goal. The Cheepskates entered the studio at ten o'clock on a Saturday night, and over the next thirteen and a half hours, all of the musical tracks on fifteen songs were recorded. But as the microphones were being set up for the vocal tracks at eleven-thirty the following Sunday morning, everyone realized they were all completely exhausted. So within a few weeks of that initial recording session, the vocals were recorded, and the tunes were mixed and completed.
In the spring of 1984, Midnight Records signed the band and released the album, selecting thirteen of the original fifteen songs that were recorded. It was titled after the single, Run Better Run. In 1994, Music Maniac re-released the album on CD for the first time. Along with the previously released thirteen tracks, the CD contained three "bonus" tracks. Two of which were previously available on a Midnight Records Christmas compilation, and a third from the same "Christmas" sessions, which had never been released.
