Meat Puppets: Out Our Way [SST EP, 1986]
In a time when EPs register microdistinctions among white bohemians, not to mention professionals, this is one piece of product that's more than a holding action in musical strength and commercial strategy. It's a departure, toward a less spacy, more bottomy hardcore-gone-folkloric. It covers "Good Golly Miss Molly" at a speed approximating that of the original--which was considered fast in its time, believe me. B+
