This is a pretty damn accurate list of all of the Litmus Green releases... included are all of the stand-alone releases as well as compilations that we recorded songs specifically for (there are far more compilations that have previously released material, so we didn't include those here). In the interest of space conservation the songs on each release aren't listed here. Go to the lyrics page for a complete list.

That's all we can remember right now, again, there are a lot more comps not mentioned because they use previously released or live songs... since a lot of people have been asking, no word yet on when or on what label the "Decline of Western Civilization III" soundtrack / video will be out.
All of the older stuff (pre-'96) is out of print. Apparently "Circle That A!" has been repressed, we'll have to see about that one... also, soon you'll be able to get the re-issue of "Do You Fear Something?" direct from MP3.com, check back soon for details.
