Minutemen - Ballot Result (1986)


Probably not a good place to start if you're new to the Minutemen. That said, this collection of audience recordings, radio broadcasts, outtakes, and rehearsal tapes is essential listening for fans. As you can probably imagine, the sound quality isn't always pristine. It's hardly a problem though. The best stuff on here is the first section - which gives us the official release of a radio broadcast that was previously only available in bootleg format (as Just A Minute, Men) - but as with everything else Minutemen, it's all worth hearing. (I couldn't find a preview from Ballot Result. Below is a live recording of "Little Man With A Gun In His Hand" I found interesting, but it's not the version on this CD).
