The Slackers , released onFebruary 21 ,2001 (see2001 in music ) onHell-Cat Records . Unlike other releases by the Slackers, the songs on the vinyl LP version of the album differ significantly from their counterparts on the CD release; additionally, there are several tracks unique to the vinyl release.The track "Wanted Dead or Alive" is a cover of theBon Jovi track.Artwork
The album concept here is that of a comic book. The girl on the cover (Miki Stroman) is reading a comic entitled "Wasted Days" (issue #4) (the character on the comic is saying "Here's what really happened" and the sign says "Henderson Swamp"). The band is featured on the inside jacket with dialog boxes like that of a comic book. The photos look to be taken in NYC. It is rumored the girl on the cover is the daughter of Q Maxx. Artwork stays the same for both the cd and vinyl versions (except the titles, of course). Photocredits:
