Deniz felt Is It Good Enough? to be the strongest track on the Take It To The Vertical album and wanted it as the a-side of a single. There was no single, only this tour EP that came out as a compromise. That was "good 'nuff" in the record company's mind.

Of Interest:
Press On is a true Vertical outtake. When the album was being mixed, it was realised that the finished version was actually not the best performance. Another unfinished take was much better, with only a live guide vocal, a live backing track and a live throw-away solo. In fact it was so much better performance wise that it was mixed without overdubs and ultimately ended up on this EP.
Tracks 3 and 4 were not rehearsals but were the result of drunken jamming in the studio on a night off during the Hitmen's "Moronic Inferno" sessions. Mort had had the temerity to record them.
Deniz has always thought Pushin' the Broom is one of his best songs and was disappointed it was considered by the record company to be "too country" to be on Take It To The Vertical.
