“Release comes on a featureless cassette with glued on DECK A-side and B-side labels. Track A2, "Hop With The Jet Set", is omitted entirely from the tracklist but present on the tape. Instead, the duration of "Take This Job And Shove It" is listed as 3 minutes and 31 seconds, which is the combined time for the two tracks. The track durations given for the rest of the release are mostly wrong. For example, "Chickenshit Conformist", one of the longest songs in the Dead Kennedys' repertoire, clocking in at 5 minutes and 59 seconds on original tapes, is listed on this release as being 2 minutes and 12 seconds long.”
