Record Collectors Are Pretentious Assholes is the title of hardcore punk band Poison Idea's second EP, released in 1984 through Fatal Erection Records. Louisianna sludgecore vocalist Mike Williams cited this album title as his favourite of any album in the liner notes for the 2006 Century Media reissue of Eyehategod's Take as Needed for Pain (Take as Needed for Pain apparently came second). The artwork, coupled with the title, is a joke at the expense of guitarist "Pig Champion", as it is a picture of his extensive record collection.
