Concept album about a New York City drug dealer who becomes a rock star, but loses all and gets disillusioned.

Originally intended (and recorded) as a double album, with spoken intros for each song. Later edited to a single album, with only "Jesus Saves" keeping its spoken intro.
Most of the dropped tracks ended up on subsequent albums.

The pairing of songs for CD tracks was done at the behest of the record label, who did not want more than 12 tracks per CD album.

"St.Patrick's" and "If I Go Away" are not available on the original vinyl version.

Videos were made for "Jesus Saves" and "New York City Don't Mean Nothing". The latter was never released.

Rerelease 1997 : "Desiree" (accoustic) as bonus track.
Rerelease 2002: "Ghost in the Ruins"and "Jesus Saves" as live bonus tracks.
