Tooth and Nail is a seminal compilation album featuring six early Californian punk rock bands: the Controllers, the Flesh Eaters, U.X.A., Negative Trend, Middle Class, and the Germs.
Except for Negative Trend and the Germs, all bands on Tooth and Nail were co-produced by the Flesh Eaters frontman, Chris Desjardins, and Judith Bell.
The Controllers, U.X.A., Middle Class, and the Germs were recorded at Program Recorders Studios in Hollywood, California. The Flesh Eaters' songs "The Word Goes Flesh" and "Pony Dress" were recorded at Mental Ward Studios.
With the exceptions of "Version Nation", "Mercenaries" and "I Got Power", all tracks were mixed by Michael Hamilton at Kitchen Sync Studios in Hollywood. "Version Nation" is Desjardins' remixed version of his song "Disintegration Nation", originally produced and engineered by Randy Stodola at Alleycat House for the 7-inch EP Flesh Eatersreleased in 1978; whereas "Mercenaries" and "I Got Power" are Desjardins and Rik L Rik's remixes of demo recordings done by the third lineup of Negative Trend in November 1978, in a session produced by Robbie Fields from Posh Boy Records at Media Art Studio in Hermosa Beach, California.
