Minutemen – The Politics Of Time (LP)

Minutemen – The Politics Of Time

Released in 1984, The Politics Of Time is the first compilation from California punk innovators Minutemen. Issued between Buzz Or Howl Under The Influence Of Heat and the landmark Double Nickels On The Dime, the album gathers an eclectic mix of studio recordings, live performances, rare tracks, and even a song from the band's predecessor, The Reactionaries. Showcasing the Minutemen's fearless blend of punk, funk, jazz, and political songwriting, this collection offers a fascinating snapshot of one of the most creative and influential bands to emerge from the American underground.
