Minutemen – The Politics Of Time – VINYL LP

Description

The Politics of Time is the seventh overall release, third album-length release, and first compilation by American hardcore punk group Minutemen.
Released in between their Buzz or Howl Under the Influence of Heat 12-inch EP and Double Nickels on the Dime double album on their own New Alliance Records label, the album compiles seven tracks meant for a non-SST Minutemen studio album that never materialized, a variety of live tracks of varying recording quality (most done with ordinary cassette machines), and a recording by their predecessor group The Reactionaries.
