Notes

Identical to Double Nickels On The Dime except for the matrix (almost certainly a different pressing plant).

Recorded 11/83 & 4/84 at Radio Toyko in Venice, California

The Minutemen thank Joe Baiza, John Rocknowski, and Dirk Vandenberg for their lead guitars in "Take 5, D.", Tom for his semi-hollow Gibson (used on some songs by D. Boon), Joe and Jack Brewer for the lyrics, Joe Carducci for his words plus guidance, Hank and Chuck for their words, Martin and Dirk for their poems, and John for the title "Theatre Is The Life Of You".

P.S. We also thank Van Halen, Steely Dan, & Creedence Clearwater Revival for writing timeless music and Richard Melzer for writing "Stairway To The Stars".

Take that, Hüskers!
