In 2007, the former band members of Karate decided to release a live album. Often, Karate was sent live material from their own performances, usually from sound technicians. This happened also after their performance on May 5, 2003 at Stuk, Leuven, Belgium, while touring to support Some Boots. Karate was so astonished by the quality of the recording they decided to release this 'posthumous' live album.
