- Shinola, Vol. 1 was released by Rhino Records, a label known for its extensive reissue and archival work.
- The album compiles tracks originally released between 1994 and 2004, spanning various periods of Ween's recording career.
- The title "Shinola" is a reference to the old phrase "What you don't know, it'll tell you," implying the album contains obscure knowledge for the uninitiated.
