when the casual use of terms like 'fags' was so common that most people barely even noticed, let alone thought about it." Feeling that removing the offending songs would necessitate new artwork, make the album too short, and change its "basic character", while re-recording the songs or editing out the lyrics would "sound like crap", he settled on having the band include a disclaimer in the new liner notes stating "We know some of these lyrics are pretty insensitive but we didn't write these songs to hurt anybody's feelings. We are older now and even if we aren't any smarter, we're not as dumb either." He later reflected that this was not very effective: It wasn't ideal. Even with the disclaimer, I felt ambivalent about the record. But it had so many great songs—and only a couple troublesome ones—that it seemed a shame not to put it out. Certain people, of course, weren't going to be happy no matter what we did. Some were offended that I released Grow Up at all; others were outraged that I was trying to "censor" the Queers. In 2006 the Queers followed several other former Lookout! artists in rescinding their master tapes and licensing rights from the label, invoking a clause in their contract citing delinquent royalty payments. They signed to Asian Man Records, who reissued all of the band's Lookout! albums in 2007, each having been remixed and remastered by Giorgini at Sonic Iguana. For Grow Up the track order and artwork were altered again (though all editions use the same cover photograph of King, taken by Harry Bartlett) and King and Rassler assisted with the remixing. Different takes of "Junk Freak" and "Rambo Rat" were used than had appeared on the original album, including the version of "Rambo Rat" recorded with bassist Evan Shore and produced by Jimmy Miller; King explained that these were intended to be the versions on the original release, but he had switched them for different takes "against my better judgment, and the wishes of Hugh" because he was fighting with Rassler at the time, and that the versions on the reissue "are far better than the ones on the old Lookout release. JJ absolutely rips it up on both these songs". The 2007 reissue also added the five tracks from the 1986 John Felice-produced demo session, with Bobby Gaudreau singing and Kevin Kecy on bass, as bonus
