A longer early version of the title track, "Dangerzone", recorded in June 1980, would be later released as "Danger Zone" on the 1983 New Underground Records compilation album Life Is Beautiful So Why Not Eat Health Foods?

Produced by Mike Patton and Thom Wilson,Danger Zone was recorded at Redondo Pacific Studios in Redondo Beach, California.

The EP was released by Frontier Records in 1981 on 12-inch vinyl disc..

The photo on the front cover, portraying a murder scene, was taken by Southern Californian punk photographer Edward Colver.

"The most interesting attribute of 1981's Dangerzone 12" ... was its Edward Colver cover shot of a murder scene he came across after a Fear show, using the available light of a police car."

The band members photographs on the back cover were taken by Glen E. Friedman, another outstanding American photographer.

Charles P. Lamey of Trouser Press was of the view that:

"China White ... was an early force on the California beach-punk scene. These six songs show them to be a solid hardcore unit, playing loud, fast and spirited, lacking only distinctiveness."
