"Crashin' Hollywood" was remastered in 2024 by Joe Jeffries, the 1990 touring bassist of Network. The remastering was necessary due to the album's substandard streaming quality. The music was initially mastered for CD in 1999, not for streaming, resulting in its low quality on KZfaq. Although I had initially planned to play bass on the remaster, I later changed my mind once I realized that Kent Warner (RIP 2020: www.daincullinan.com/obituary...) had already done an excellent job. The remastered version has the same tracklist as the 1990 cassette release, including the song "Bad Bad Girl," which was unavailable on the CD release. In addition, I have included a group photo, liner notes from the 1990 cassette release, and bonus vids.
