NOTES

  • Originally, No Alternative was a CD and cassette release. Sonic Youth (and Jonathan Richman) only appeared on the cassette. Their song is a live version of "Burning Spear" (the same which appeared on a Dirty era 7") from January 24th, 1993 in Melbourne, Australia @ Big Day Out.
  • The final track, Nirvana's excellent "Sappy" (aka "Verse Chorus Verse") is not listed anywhere on the art, as on the CD version. However, there is a nod to it on the tape itself -- the last song is listed as "Uncredited/Untitled".
  • The album was reissued on vinyl for Record Store Day 2013, with SY's track included on side D.
