Hated In The Nation is a compilation album, initially released exclusively on the cassette format, by controversial punk rock singer/songwriter/performance artist GG Allin. Consisting mainly of then-out-of-print recordings by Allin with his previous backing groups The Jabbers, The Scumfucs, and The Cedar Street Sluts, Hated In The Nation became Allin's first widespread international release; as such, since it is both a compilation intended to both document Allin's recording career to that time, and to attract new fans to Allin's work, it is the only GG Allin title that has never gone out of print and, according to his official website, is also the most popular item in GG's discography.

[edit] Album history

The release came about as Allin's notoriety was growing in New York and New England. ROIR Records president Neil Cooper had approached Mykel Board, Maximum RockNRoll columnist and owner of Siedboard World Enterprises, about the possibility of ROIR doing a GG Allin cassette, since Allin had already had friendly dealings with Board, stemming from Allin's contribution to a compilation album Board had compiled in 1981. Cooper wanted to do an all-live album with Allin, but at the time, Allin's appearances were already notorious for his stage antics which included attacking audience members, defecating onstage, and throwing his feces at the audience. The decision was made to compile tracks from Allin's back catalog (much of which was already hard to come by at the time) with new studio and live recordings that would be done in New York. Entrusted with supervising the project, Board contacted Allin and then arranged a recording session with Shimmy Disc owner and producer Kramer at the latter's Noise New York studio, and a live date at The Cat Club in New York City. A band was then assembled that included Kramer on bass, Steve Dasinger from Board's own band Artless on drums, and J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr on lead guitar. The backing band would later be collectively named on the sleeve note as "The New York Superscum".

According to Board's liner notes for Allin's posthumous studio album Brutality And Bloodshed For All (1993), Allin arrived at the studio carrying a big bottle of Jim Beam whisky that was already about seven-eights empty, and in a rather visibly disheveled condition from not having bathed or cut his hair in quite some time. The recording session doubled as a rehearsal for the night's performance; at the beginning of one of the new recordings, Allin is heard giving an instruction to the band on how many times to play a particular song's introduction. The session didn't go completely without a hitch, however, as Allin reportedly broke one of the studio microphones by headbutting it and then, in Board's words, "tried to break the studio floor with his head."

After the recording session/rehearsal concluded, Allin, Board, and the band then went to the Cat Club for the evening's performance, which would also be recorded. Before the group's set began, Allin reportedly told Board, "It should be a good show tonight - I just ate an entire box of Ex-Lax." Predictably, the show itself came to a halt when Allin began shitting onstage a couple of songs into the performance, as bouncers proceeded to bodily remove the vocalist from the club. As a result, only two songs from the live performance, "Blood For You" and "Eat My Shit", were usable enough for the album. The other three cuts with the New York Superscum - new recordings of "Drink Fight And Fuck" and "Ass Fuckin' Butt Lickin' Cunt Suckin' Masturbation" and a third "new" cut (apparently improvised) entitled "Ten Year Old Fuck" - were done during the recording/rehearsal session.

To further simulate a live performance, Board used stage monologues from a cassette recording of a 1985 performance Allin had done in Dallas, Texas with a local pickup band; the full recording would later be released by Black & Blue Records as Boozin' And Pranks. Messages from Allin's answering machine also appear on the album, as does a message left by Allin on Board's own machine. [Actually, all the messages were from MY answering machine. The other info is correct.-- Mykel Board]

In 1998, ROIR reissued Hated In The Nation on compact disc, adding a radio commercial for Always Was, Is And Always Shall Be and three other cuts from the same era covered on the original cassette.
