Minutemen: The Politics Of Time (Vinyl LP)

The Politics Of Time is the first compilation album by American hardcore punk band Minutemen, released in 1984 through New Alliance Records.

Released in between their Buzz Or Howl Under The Influence Of Heat 12-inch EP and Double Nickels On The Dime double album on their own New Alliance Records label, the album compiles seven tracks meant for a non-SST Minutemen studio album that never materialised, a variety of live tracks of varying recording quality (most done with ordinary cassette machines), and a recording by their predecessor group The Reactionaries.
