Album history

The album was released by Star Song Records. They were Petra's label during during most of the 80's, which is arguably the band's most successful period.

Each of the songs' production was handled by the band itself, while the overall album executive production was in charge of Darrell A. Harris. The album was mastered by Steve Marcussen at Precision Mastering in Hollywood, California.

The album title is a pun on both the title of Petra's fourth studio album (Never Say Die) as well as the band's age and relevance by rejecting comparisons of the band with extinct dinosaurs. At the time of the release of this album, Petra had been performing for nearly 25 years.
