'''''All Ages''''' is a compilation album by the American [[punk rock]] band [[Bad Religion]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=bad_religion|title=TrouserPress.com :: Bad Religion|website=www.trouserpress.com}}</ref> It was released on July 26, 1995, through [[Epitaph Records]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://epitaph.com/artists/bad-religion/release/all-ages|title=Bad Religion - All Ages|first=Epitaph|last=Records|via=epitaph.com}}</ref> The compilation contains songs from ''[[How Could Hell Be Any Worse?]]'' to ''[[Generator (Bad Religion album)|Generator]]'', and two live tracks recorded during their 1994 European tour, which were the first tracks to feature guitarist [[Brian Baker (musician)|Brian Baker]].

==Background==
''All Ages'' contains material from five of Bad Religion's first six studio albums released on Epitaph, omitting songs from the band's second album, ''[[Into the Unknown (Bad Religion album)|Into the Unknown]]''. It also contains no tracks from the ''[[Bad Religion (EP)|Bad Religion]]'' and ''[[Back to the Known]]'' EPs. The band had left Epitaph for [[Atlantic Records|Atlantic]] in 1993, where they reissued ''Recipe for Hate'' and began to experience major worldwide commercial success.

The live tracks "Do What You Want" and "Fuck Armageddon... This Is Hell" were recorded live at Lisebergshallen in [[Gothenburg|Goteborg, Sweden]], on October 8, 1994, on Bad Religion's ''[[Stranger than Fiction (Bad Religion album)|Stranger than Fiction]]'' tour.<ref name=AV>{{cite AV media notes | title=All Ages | year=1995 | others=[[Bad Religion]] | type=liner notes | publisher=[[Epitaph Records]] | location=[[United States|US]] | id=86443}}</ref> These tracks were the first to feature guitarist [[Brian Baker (musician)|Brian Baker]], who had replaced [[Brett Gurewitz]] before the release of ''Stranger than Fiction''.
