    This has seven tracks (not including the stage banter) and three of them had been previously released on a 7" ... so it is classed as a compilation? Discogs is weird.

      So what's so cool about records? To me when I pull one out of the stacks it has a story to it. This is my first exposure to the Germs and it inspired me. I've had this record for over 30 years, a collection of non LP Germs songs, so you bet it's awesome.
