From the Johnny Tonite Website:

“It started long before Randy and Pete began writing songs to record what was to become "The Savage Ones", Pete and Randy had know each other since Pete was a member of the audience at The Spanish Dogs debut show.Pete would become the drummer after that first show at the New Wave Lounge. They later teamed up as members of the Stan Still Dance Band, River of Souls and Cowhead.
“The writting sessions for "The Savage Ones" were born out of failed love and loss in both Randy and Pete's personal lives. Randy had just gotten divorced and lost his brother in an accident, Pete still missing his girlfriend and one true love. There was a lot of rum and other things that went into writing those songs. They were written in some of the seedier apartment complexes in South Florida. Usually with Pete playing guitar and Randy singing into a tape recorder. Pete then arranged the songs usually in his head right on the spot.
“From there they were recorded at L7 Studios with Bob Wlos helping out on a couple of guitar tracks, Mike Chatham on bass for a couple of songs and Pete playing eveything else.”

The complete “Live Tonight” ep (originally released on cassette) is also included on this disc.
