Typical compilation of bad artsy-fartsy new-wave disco crap. Some of it is pretty funny at 45 RPM, though. Big Black track is okay, credited as "live in Minneapolis," doubtless from the same show that's provided songs on Atomizer, Big Money and the Sound of Impact. I'm surprised it isn't better, given the quality of the other tracks from that show.

This is worse than Hog Butcher to the World, but offers greater amusement due to the pretentious nature of the music...

Copies of the LP come with a 48 page issue of Debris magazine. I have no clue what's in it, since my copy is missing (hey, it was only a buck, certainly about what it's worth)...
