Mink Car was recorded between 1999 and 2001 in numerous studios and featured many guest artists and producers. Many of the album's tracks were pre-released by the band via TMBG Unlimited in either their demo or final forms. Others, such as "Older" and "She Thinks She's Edith Head", had been released in other forms on Long Tall Weekend. Future releases from the band would hold many of their tracks closer to the vest, ensuring that the fanbase hadn't heard a majority of the album before it was released. Depending on the country of release, Mink Car's tracklisting varied widely. Several additional songs such as "Boss of Me", "Your Mom's Alright", "MacGyver", and "Robot Parade (Adult Version)" were tacked on as bonus tracks. Man, It's So Loud In Here was the only domestic single from the album, but was not widely circulated. Promotional releases of "Another First Kiss" and "Bangs" were also issued, and "Working Undercover for the Man" had been released on its own extended play the previous year. The album's cover and media art were designed by The Chopping Block, which also did artwork for the band's follow-up, No!. More information on the design process for the album's artwork can be found here. Mink Car is TMBG's only album to have ever fallen out of print; however, the album is once again for sale on the official merchandise website and iTunes.
