¡All-Time Quarterback! (album)

¡All-Time Quarterback! is the debut album and final release from Ben Gibbard's solo project ¡All-Time Quarterback!. The album comprises a collection of tracks from the now out-of-print EPs ¡All-Time Quarterback! and The Envelope Sessions. Oddly, the ¡All-Time Quarterback! album excludes the tracks "Don't Touch the Tape", "Lullaby, Lullaby", "Dig It!" and "Stark Mobile," despite its concise length. However, it includes the previously unreleased track "Dinner At Eight in the Suburbs".
