Background

Jabberjaw was the name of a Los Angeles music venue located on Pico Boulevard.[2] Jabberjaw: Good to the Last Drop was released as a benefit album for the music venue.[3] In 1994, Michael Goldberg reported that the reason for the benefit album was because the venue was "due for some remodeling."[4]

Artwork

The front cover illustration is drawn by Los Angeles illustrator Coop, while the layout and graphic design is by Chris Eselgroth. Original album artwork prints of Jabberjaw are held in the Drawings and Prints Department of Cooper Hewitt, the Smithsonian National Design Museum in New York City.[5]

Reception

Jabberjaw was met with generally favorable reviews following its release in 1994; in the Austin American-Statesman, Marc Fort rated Jabberjaw with four stars out of five, calling the record "a must" and highlighting Hole's alternate version of the song "Rock Star", calling the record "worth the price with this song alone".[6] In the San Francisco Chronicle, Michael Goldberg wrote that "although many compilation albums aren't particularly listenable, this one is a winner for fans of hardcore punk, noisy power pop, hard rock fans and the various styles that fall under the 'alternative' tag".[7] Goldberg voiced some criticism when explaining that "there are a few bum tracks", but concluded that "the overwhelming riches on Good to the Last Drop are proof that the rock scene has never been healthier".[7]
