Notes: Also known as Devils Rats and Piggies, a Special Message from Godzilla. Written and recorded by The Mekons. The previously unreleased bonus tracks on the official CD reissue are enhanced, reworked, or alternate versions of "Killer" and "Teeth" from the 1980 Virgin 2x7" Teeth set. I have heard a story that Chicago's Feel Good All Over label was set to reissue The Mekons in 1994, after their success with The Mekons Story. However, appearance of an unauthorized reissue on Cherry Red Records reportedly gave FGAO cold feet, and they dropped the project. Read more here.

Lineup: Andy Corrigan, Tom Greenhalgh, John Gill, Mary Jenner, Jon Langford, Kevin Lycett, Mark White.
