The correct title of this article is Where Quality is Job #1. The substitution or omission of a # sign is because of technical restrictions.

Where Quality is Job #1 is a double-7" EP by the punk rock band Propagandhi, released by Recess Records in 1994. It contains ten early demo and live recordings. The sound quality and packaging are consciously poor, featuring hand-written etched designs instead of labels as well as a confusing error and doodle-filled liner note sheet with reference to songs that did not appear on the EP while omitting songs that did.

[edit] Miscellanea

  • Rather than label the sides as A, B, C, and D, Propagandhi chose "F", "U", "C", and "K Off".
  • The later compilation album, Where Quantity is Job #1, is a reference to this early release.
  • Despite having similar titles and artwork, only "Leg-Hold Trap," "Gov't Cartoons," Bent," and "Hidden Curriculum" were included on Where Quantity is Job #1 as were the songs "White, Proud And Stupid" and "Fine Day" which were listed on the liner note insert sheet but did not appear on this EP.
  • There is a five-second snippet of "Degrassi Jr. High Dropouts" at the beginning of Side "U." The song appears in its entirety on Where Quantity is Job #1.
  • "Greenest Eyes" is an early version and first part of the song "Showdown (G.E./P.)" on How to Clean Everything.
  • "Kill Bill Harcus" is an early version of the song "The Only Good Fascist is a Very Dead Fascist" on Less Talk, More Rock.
