Background
After four studio albums and a live album for A&M Records, the band were working on the Suffer for Sound album when they were dropped by the label.[1] They subsequently signed a deal with Capitol Records in 1981, but to fulfil their contract, A&M released this collection of recordings in November that year, including tracks from their early singles and unreleased material.[1][2][3][4] One track from the shelved Suffer for Sound album, "Drivin' All Night", was included as the album's opener.[5]
T.R.A.S.H. has been described as the band's best album.[2] A review from Billboard picked out the live version of Captain & Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together" as a highlight.[4]
