Flotsam And Jetsam received many requests to remix the album. They had experienced difficulties in obtaining the master tapes of the 1988 album and, as such, so they decided to re-record the album. The band, consisting of the same line-up that recorded that early gem, rehashed the sharp-edged sword of "No Place For Disgrace", now vial Metal Blade Records!
On February 14, 2014, the band re-released the album with Tory Edwards on violin and mandolin. Of the decision, the band commented that: "The aim was not really to change but to enhance it with the opportunity with the use of new tools".
The original version album release marked the band's first album to be released through a major label, Elektra Records, and was also their first album with the bass guitarist Troy Gregory, who had replaced Jason Newsted when the latter left the band in 1986 to join Metallica. Though they had recently lost lyricist and principal songwriter, Jason Newsted, Arizona Thrashers neatly avoided the sophomore slump with "No Place for Disgrace". The album basically repeats the formula of their debut but benefits from a cleaner yet still-in-your face production job. Despite not playing on the album, three songs on it were co-written by Newsted.
"No Place For Disgrace" is thematically much darker than "Doomsday For The Deceiver", and while some of the band's subsequent albums have a more political edge, the lyrical content of the album was similar to its predecessor, focusing on themes centred around history and literature, as well as Satanism and the occult.
"No Place For Disgrace" also received some notice for its cover of an Elton John song, "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)", and upon its release charted on Billboard at #143.
"No Place For Disgrace 2014" - now is in a some slower pace, sounded heavier, chunkier, cleaner, tighter, and moderately smoother. This new production setting accentuated the lead twin guitar work of Edward Carlson and Michael Gilbert, which sounded grand, both exchanging energetic alongside touchy soloing showcases, combined with hard edge rhythm guitar riffs that celebrated the hey days of that album. Eric A.K. rejoiced the occasion with an amazing vocal performance with a tougher indentation, clearly one of the best Speed/Thrash vocalists that isn't rasping or growling his way into a different zone. As for the rhythm section of Kelly David-Smith and Michael Spencer, no less than blissful grace, slow tempo it is on several occurrences, but still kicking ass.
Flotsam And Jetsam made a sweet tribute to their past with the release of this old gemstone. Congratulations to the band for fighting to keep Metal alive and alight!!
