Ween also formed their own label at this time, Chocodog Records, which oversaw the release of several self-produced live sets.
Later, Ween released the first official Chocodog album, Live in Toronto (a live recording from the 1996 tour, in which Ween performed with The Shit Creek Boys).
Subsequent Chocodog releases (Live at Stubb's and All Request Live) were produced in higher volumes to meet demand.
Upon parting ways with Elektra Records in 2001, Ween founded its own imprint, Chocodog Records, with the sole purpose of properly releasing archival material.
Chocodog has put out several live albums, each chronicling a different legendary Ween show, all of which sold out of their initial pressings.
After a quiet year in 2004, Ween announced that the next Chocodog release would be the first in a series of rarities compilations.
