''[[Spending Time on the Borderline]]'' is the third studio album and major label debut by American rock band [[Ozma]]. It was the band's first record to not be produced by [[Bruce Witkin]]. It also marked the first time they had ventured outside of Pop Squad Studio for a full length record. Instead they chose frequent Nada Surf producer Chris Fudurich, and recorded at Standard Electrical Recorders in Venice, CA.<br>
''[[Spending Time on the Borderline]]'' is the third studio album and major label debut by American rock band [[Ozma]].
The three waveforms on the cover of the album say "Ozma" "Spending Time" "on the Borderline".<br>
==Background==
Three months before the albums release the band released a promotional CD with the full album on it, but with a slightly different tracklisting[https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/File:Spendingtimepromo.jpg][https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/File:Spendingtimepromotacklist.jpg].
''Spending Time on the Borderline'' was the band's first full-length record not produced at Pop Squad Studios by [[Bruce Witkin]]. It was recorded with [[Nada Surf]] producer [[Chris Fudurich]] at Standard Electrical Recorders in Venice, CA.
 
The album cover features images of three audio waveforms of the words "Ozma" "Spending Time" and "on the Borderline".
===Promotional release===
Three months before the album's release, the band released a promotional CD containing the full album (albeit with tracks 9-11 rearranged).
