"Philthy Phil Philanthropist" turns up on Heavy Petting Zoo, the sixth NOFX album, which Epitaph put out in January 1996 (the vinyl went by Eating Lamb). The band tracked it with Ryan Greene in October 1995 at Razor's Edge in San Francisco, a garage they summed up as "a total dive", and Greene produced it with them, engineered and mixed.
The record won praise for its melodies and drew favorable comparisons with 1991's Ribbed, and its witty song titles got plenty of attention, even as critics knocked some of those same tracks for laying the cynicism on too thick. With a name like this one, the alliteration alone earns its place in that company.
