Mainliner: Wreckage From the Past is a collection of early recordings by Social Distortion. It was released on July 18, 1995 on Time Bomb Recordings, and contains songs which were recorded in 1981. It was not the band's first album (or the follow-up to Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell), just a collection of singles and B-sides that have never appeared on any of the band's full-length albums (except for "Moral Threat" and "All the Answers"). This album was released by Mike Ness' Time Bomb Recordings (distributed by Arista Records) in 1995 along with the re-release of Mommy's Little Monster and Prison Bound.
