Let me start of by saying I am a big Dead Milkmen fan. When I purchased this disc for the collection I was very dissapointed. This cd was made from two different recordings. One is at a party and is just unbearable to listen to. The other recording is from a radio show they did. The radio one is whole lot easier to listen to. My promblem with it is the music is edited. If anything edited music offends me. The only reason I gave the cd to stars is because there the Dead Milkmen. Don't be fooled this isnt a collection of there best material or a greatest hits cd. Go buy there other cds you wont be sorry

This review is coming from a longtime Dead Milkmen fan who owns the original Now We are 10, (as well as the tapes that make up NWA10) and has a cassette copy of the other two tracks. To the person who stated that the sound quality of the live tracks.... well, the first four tracks are from a self-released tape from 1983. The show is in a barn in Bedminister, PA, 10.22.83. It was recorded on a boombox. (i am listening to the full show right now) The next 3 tracks are from another self released tape that was entitled "Death Rides a Pale Cow," which I believe was also from 1983. These are some of the rarest of Dead Milkmen tracks which were compiled onto the NWA10 CD as a fan club release... not intended to be a commercial release. Enough fans wanted this to happen, therefore the Dead Milkmen made it happen. For the old equipment used, and the fact that the source cassettes are pretty old (these are the days before DAT), I think it sounds excellent. I have heard live albums that sound much worse than the live and non-live tracks on this CD. This is basically a collection of rarities and demos.

Now if they could release their 1984 tape "Someons Shot Sunshine."

I am so glad to be able to listen to something different from the dead milkmen, even if it is old material. The first few songs aren't quality recordings, but do we really expect Rush quality here? The majority of the disc is from a radio show and the quality is pretty good. I have had this disc in my car for a while now and it is great to drive to.
