Quantity Is Job 1 is the first and only EP of the band Five Iron Frenzy. It was released November 3, 1998 on Five Minute Walk. The album was the bands first release distributed by EMI, and most of it was written in a two-week period before being recorded.[3] Unlisted on the package are tracks nine through seventeen, which include both "These Are Not My Pants (The Rock Opera)" and a studio outtake. Douglas TenNapel created the artwork.
