Neo Yankees' Holiday is the third studio album by Fishmans. It was first released on July 21, 1993 by label Media Remoras. It would be the first Fishmans album to be produced by ZAK and the first to push the band to significant popularity with the release of breakout single いかれたBaby. This would also be the last album guitarist Kensuke Ojima would feature on. Fishmans' official website describes the album:

This is Fishmans' style, youthful "dub" pop!... The band has grown so fast. This enriched third album gained enthusiastic support in parts of the underground scene.

This blurb also clearly describes ZAK as a "mixmaster". Fishmans' website also elaborates that Neo Yankees' Holiday was the beginning of "a rocky flow" that led to the sound of their next album Orange.

As mentioned in a section of the CD Extra Dictionary, the photo featured as this album's cover artwork was taken in Kinuta Park, Setagaya, Tokyo.
