(the latter has no instrumentation, consisting entirely of the band members cheering each other on as they fart into recording equipment). Stevenson produced the album, while studio owner Ethan James and his assistant Richard Andrews served as recording engineers. It was Andrews' first experience recording a band on his own, and he found the Descendents' crude humor startling: I was a jazz musician, and I was at Radio Tokyo cutting my own demos. Ethan James, the owner of the studio, said "If you want to learn how to engineer, I need help." Finally I'm good enough and he's ready to give me some clients, and he says to me "There's this record that I want you to do", and I'm like "Alright! A record! I got a fucking record!" and I go in to do it and it's the Descendents and they're farting. I’m a classically trained musician; I learned to play piano at four, I went to a conservatory for two years, I studied at Berklee College of Music. I know all this stuff, and Bill's like "Stick the microphone closer to my ass so you can hear this fart!" It was terrible. But as time went on, I discovered that it's not about what you know about the music, it's about "are you expressing yourself authentically through the music?", and these guys totally brought the idea of authenticity to my fore, and that totally changed my perception of all music. And to have that "bing" moment from punk rockers was a real mind trip. Andrews would continue to work with the Descendents and their successor band, All, recording five more of their releases between 1987 and 1989. Stevenson later said that the recording and production qualities on the finished album were "wearing the '80s new wave influence really boldly on the sleeve." The cover artwork for Enjoy!, which depicts a roll of toilet paper, was drawn by guitarist Ray Cooper under the pseudonym "Scoob Droolins". Rather than listing the song titles on the reverse of the album's sleeve, the band instead replaced them with various euphemisms for feces, such as "floater", "sausage", and "loaf". Stevenson later explained this as an attempt to "come up with as many toilet humor-related jokes as possible." Release and supporting tours Enjoy! was released jointly through New Alliance Records and Restless Records as a ten-track LP. In 1987 New Alliance was sold to
