As the band was blamed for being the catalyst that sparked the riots, authorities forced Propeller to disband shortly afterward and all recordings held by Eesti Raadio were destroyed. Band members, however, had kept the original 1980 recordings and in 1995, their self-titled, only full-length album was released by Fugata Ltd. (en)
