The album's name is a tribute to the very first van that Less Than Jake used for tours. "The Blue & White" survived through most of the band's early years before breaking down on the way to a Pez convention. The band compiled some material and dedicated this hard-to-find album to it. Album art shows pictures of the band in the van through LTJ's early years. The track listing includes several covers, including two Slayer covers.
This album was re-released on March 18, 2008 with a bonus DVD featuring live performances from 1994 to 2007.
