This has Everything Falls Apart, the singles "In a Free Land" and "Statues"/"Amusement," and two additional tracks ("Let's Go Die" and "Do You Remember?"). The original Everything Falls Apart is selling for exceedingly high prices. Even this is selling for more than I want to pay for a release at this grade. I would buy the remastered tracks of the original album from the Savage Young Du box set, but they charge a full dollar per track, when the total "album" is less than 20 minutes. $12 for 20 minutes of digital download? So I'm going to stick with their SST/Warners period only. This early material is really more standard, derivative-sounding hardcore anyway.
As far as the singles on this, the only classic is "In a Free Land" and I have a live version of that on The Living End. "Statues" and "Amusement" are okay.
And finally, I have skipped the debut studio albums (ie, not EPs (two by the Minutemen, one by the Meat Puppets) or live ones (Husker Du)) by the Minutemen (The Punch Line), the Meat Puppets (Meat Puppets), and Husker Du (Everything Falls Apart). All 15-20 minute basically hardcore blurs, in one way or the other.
