"Tell It Like It Was" arrived in 1999 on Libido, the fourth album from ska punk outfit Buck-O-Nine and their record for TVT Records, and the songwriting credit goes to the band as a whole rather than to any one member.
Libido found them trying to widen the ska punk sound they had come up on, and this track brought in outside hands to help: Howard Benson added production, Steve Kravac handled additional engineering and Chris Lord-Alge mixed it. It catches a band reaching for a wider room.
