From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Longest Line is a 12" EP by punk band NOFX, released in 1992. This marked the band's first release on Fat Wreck Chords, as well as the first appearance of guitarist El Hefe. The first 200 copies of this record were printed on dark-blue vinyl, some on grey vinyl, and all others on black vinyl. It was repressed in 2007 with 1,082 copies on "Peruvian" white vinyl. This coloured version sold out within a day. The band denied all suggestion that the title referred to cocaine.
The pop-punk band blink-182 covered "The Longest Line" on their demo tape Flyswatter.

- This was recorded at west beach again, but this time with Donnel Cameron. He had second engineered our previous records and we knew him pretty well. Recording this record was hard cause Erik, our drummer, was strung out on dope and he kept getting sick. He would freak out and say he had to bail, and he would just leave. It ended up taking like 10 days to do 5 songs. Also cause my voice sucks. It actually took me 10 hours to sing the longest line. I fuckin' couldn't sing the fuckin' thing. Out of my range or something. This was the first release on fat wreck chords. I guess that's not that interesting.
