Recording

In 2016, vocalist and guitarist Andrew Savage noted that the album stands mostly alone within the band's discography, in terms of its songwriting and overall aesthetic: "There’s a lot of stuff on American Specialties that didn’t really get revisited in the band, although its essence has informed everything the band has done."[1]

Release

Regarding American Specialties initial release on cassette, vocalist and guitarist Andrew Savage noted, "Cassettes force you to be patient and digest what you're listening to. People that are curious and go out and search for music are listening to cassettes because maybe there's only a hundred of them – and that's all the more incentive because they'd like to hear it before it becomes completely unavailable. I like to reward people's curiosity."[2]
