Mekons

I Have Been to Heaven and Back: Hen's Teeth and Other Lost Fragments of Unpopular Culture Vol. 1

Quarterstick

This appears to be one of those B-side, rare and live track collections. Overall, it's a pretty good slice of the Mekons, offering an intimate peek at the band's unique mix of punk, rock and country. Interesting points include a cover of "You Wear It Well," and a live version of "This Funeral is for the Wrong Corpse," one of my all-time favorite Mekons songs.
