Peace Thru Vandalism / When in Rome Do as The Vandals
Peace Thru Vandalism / When in Rome Do as The Vandals is a compilation album by the southern California punk rock band The Vandals. It was originally released in 1989 by Restless Records (and later reissued Time Bomb Recordings, a record label founded by Social Distortion frontman Mike Ness). It is a CD re-release of the band's first EP, "Peace thru Vandalism", and first LP, "When in Rome Do as The Vandals", containing all of the tracks from both releases. The Restless version has the tracks from When In  Rome Do As The Vandals first while the Time Bomb version has the two records in chronological order. In the album's liner notes Brent Turner is credited as having performed all of the bass tracks on "When in Rome Do as the Vandals", however by the time of that album's release Chalmer Lumary had joined the band on the bass position. Lumary is therefore listed in the liner notes as the band's official bass player. The liner notes also erroneously list Joe Escalante as writing and composing the entirety of the album's content, whereas the majority  was written by Stevo and Jan Nils Ackermann. Furthermore, many tracks from "Peace Thru Vandalism" had been written and performed prior to Escalante's involvement in the band, adding to the suspicious nature of the inclusion. Track listing. Writing credits are as they appear on the original Restless Records CD. Later versions credit all songs to Joe Escalante.
