It is a completely separate release from the band's 2003 debut studio album, also titled The Dresden Dolls.

The CD was recorded and engineered at Sonics Studios and at Emerson College in Boston, MA by Owen Curtin in 2001[1] and mastered by Noah-Blumenson Cook, with guest Brian Knoth playing a guitar solo on "Good Day".

[citation needed] The album was first sold at the band's first appearance at The Middle East in Cambridge, MA.

[3] The EP was sold by the band at shows until late 2003, via mail order until early 2004, and from drummer Brian Viglione while he was working at Toscanini's, an ice cream parlor in Cambridge.

[4] The EP is now completely out of print, although "Girl Anachronism" has been made available for download from the band's official web site.
