Teenage Jesus and the Jerks [Lydia Lunch] - batch review

Not really a batch review, per se. Their catalog is a bit of a mess, even though small. I understand that they never put out a full studio album. I listened to the three comps listed on Discogs, pictured below. The first one, as it's "original issue," was promising, but it sells for a fortune. I'm not spending a fortune on anything by them, but in the end this is the one I would buy if they were all commercially available. The middle one seems like the least desirable - unremastered, relatively early CD-era release that seems sloppily put together. The last one looks promising too, as an alternative to the first, because it apparently contains everything they ever recorded (unlike the release actually titled Everything). But it's also unavailable at reasonable prices. So that's the end of that.

Shut up and Bleed (w/tracks as "Beirut Slump") [Cherry Red, 2008]
