 LP released: June, 1975
Recorded: March - April, 1975 at The Record Plant, Los Angeles, CA.

Personally, I think there are 2 reasons why White Punks On Dope was avoided to be played on the radio. 1. The F***ing. The part where he goes "I go CRAZY 'cause my folks are so f***ing rich." 2. The song may be a bit too long.

 Yeah "White Punks On Dope" was way too long for a single!? "What Do You Want From Life" would have been a better choice. In some ways they were ahead of their time and the "slacker" market hadn't developed to the level it is today so they are often overlooked. They are a hard band to describe but if you can imagine the early 70's national lampoon magazine as a band it would probably be the Tubes. If you're from the UK imagine an overblown version of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band.
In their time they were considered to be quite controversial with their heavy Rock Opera style and political satire based lyrics. A lot of this has been lost in translation over time but I still get a kick out it. Favourite song - "Proud To Be American" closely followed by their live cover of "I Saw Her Standing There". There! There! There!

 Added cleaner back cover image, lyric/photos folded insert, sticker and alternate label images. In deadwax on side one is etched "This Is The 84th Time I Have Lied To The Nation." On side two is "Don't You Wish You Had A Baby's Arms Holding An Apple?" This was pressed by Monarch Records, Los Angeles. The deltas for this are:
Side One Δ 19899
Side Two Δ 19899-X.

The single "White Punks On Dope" failed to chart as I'm sure most radio avoided it.
