TBH I like this comp better than any LP muchly because it's where I first heard Dead Kennedys but honestly I like the less fast approach of "Callifornia Uber Alles" and "Holiday in Cambodia" that allows Jello's performance to breath more, so Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables has never connected with me as much since those versions of the songs feel wrong. It also has "Police Truck" and the aforementioned "Night of the Living Rednecks" so that's an absolute no brainer for me to make it the definitive Dead Kennedys statement. I mean how can you listen to Fresh Fruit's version of "California Uber Alles" when there's a top 10 punk song version on another album?
