Notes: Produced by the Mekons with Ian Caple; recorded at The Stone Room, London. The Mekons' reaction to house music? "One Horse Town" features rants by Lester Bangs. Recorded for fun, as the title suggests, at the prompting of some airhead at A&M, F.U.N. '90 was received with stunning silence at the label and got zero promotion. It eventually proved a contract breaker (good riddance). Adding insult to injury, A&M also chose to lop off 2 tracks from the Blast First release. The promo-only US vinyl release is packaged in a generic black sleeve.

Lineup: Jon, Tom, Sally.
