Liner Notes

The construction of Human Butt was at the time, an ambitious undertaking. I sat on the floor of a small apartment and went through several cassette and DAT tapes until I had what I thought would pass as a 2CD set of material. Thrilled by this new format, I put it together and flung it out into the world. It went out of print almost immediately. It took awhile (years) but we finally got around to re-releasing it. For many of you, this is a new record, for others, just an echo of a bygone era. Please enjoy these ancient ramblings from the last century.

– Henry Rollins
