The EP was released in 1981 by Subterranean Records. According to John Trubee of Spin, the EP was released "with virtually no promotion and no information".[2]

Reception

Spin said the album, "Biafra improvised most of the vocals here, spewing surreal nightmares fraught with sociopolitical overtones over a zombie pulse of electronic ugliness. All the material possesses this crude, ludicrous, insane, homemade feel — almost as if the material should never have made it to vinyl."[2]
