About this item

The last Dead Kennedy album, and the one responsible for their “downfall”.

Not because of the lyrical content (at least not officially) but because of they included a poster of H.R. Giger’s Penis Landscape painting in it.

How I got it

This album instantly became one of my most treasured items.

I had packed it up and mailed it off to Jello Biafra on March 7, 2026 only to find out (the next day) he’d suffered a stroke that same day. At that point i wrote it off - the album was my least concern, as i assumed it was for him as well.

About a month later, a package showed up from Alternative Tentacles. I assumed someone there had come across my album in a pile of mail and sent it back.

But when I opened it, my jaw dropped – it was signed. Forget about the the autograph itself, getting this back with his signature meant that he was on the road to recovery.

When his condition was announced, he was quoted saying that “I still have a lot of great stuff in me, but right now I got a lot of rehabbing to do.” I’m just glad he’s got the opportunity to keep on working on all of his great stuff.
