Всего одной демки с шестью треками для "Fair warning" оказалось достаточно, чтобы коллективу начали поступать предложения от различных лейблов. Свой выбор музыканты остановили на немецкой фирме "WEA", которая в 1991 году издала их дебют.

FAIR WARNING underline the motto which they have chosen for themselves: a good song will always remain a good song. At the same time, it's an integral part of the "Pimp Your Past" concept that the arrangements of some of the new versions differ significantly from the originals. As bassist Ule Ritgen puts it so aptly: "When our Japanese record company approached us with the request for this kind of album, we were skeptical to start with. But once we had made up our minds to not simply re-record the material but furnish it with a few fresh arrangements, the project gained momentum and we were gripped by a kind of eagerness to explore the possibilities. Especially since the new recording are very energetic and sound excitingly different in parts while their essence has remained the same.
