Dedicated released by Another Planet

Dedicated was released by Another Planet on March 19, 1996. The label had already picked up the rights to their previous material from Profile Records and in 1994 had released a split CD with the self-titled and Back with a Bong! albums on the same disc. Dedicated was produced by Daniel Rey , who also wrote “Greenbud” on the album. It follows 1993’s Good for Now EP and the 1991 studio album The Best of Times. Dedicated was dedicated to former bass player, Chuck Valle, who was killed in a knife related incident in 1994. His picture appears on the back page of the CD inlay and a picture of a tattoo inscribed with the words “In Memory of Chuck” appears on the jewel case inlay. From July to late October of that year the band went on their US Beer & Water tour. AllMusic wrote on the album stating “Dedicated is another collection of Murphy’s Law’s weed-obsessed, couch potato punk anthems like “Greenbud” and “Bag of Snacks.”The catchier selections, like “Dysfunctional Family,” make the album worthwhile, and longtime fans should be pleased.” The grouped continued touring in the US and Europe throughout the rest of the 1990s.
