This album is the fifth single by Dead Kennedys. It was released in 1981 on Alternative Tentacles with “Moral Majority” as the B-side. Both are from the In God We Trust, Inc. EP, although the EP version is a different recording from the single version. The single included a free armband with a crossed-out swastika. The design was later adopted as a symbol for the anti-racist punk movement Anti-Racist Action.
In the opening of the In God We Trust, Inc. version of “Nazi Punks Fuck Off”, lead singer Jello Biafra mentions English producer Martin Hannett, who had worked with Joy Division and Buzzcocks, accusing him, tongue-in-cheek, of having “overproduced” the recording. Hannett, in fact, did not work with Dead Kennedys.
