The Last of the Big Time Suspenders is an album by Edmonton punk rock band SNFU. The album, a compilation of mostly unreleased studio and live tracks, was released in 1991, two years after SNFU's first breakup, to satisfy their unfulfilled two-album contract with Cargo Records.[1] Their reformation to tour behind the album, however, led to an official reunion.
Tracks 1–7 are live tracks taken from one of their final shows before disbanding, held at the Polish Hall in Edmonton in September 1989. Two of these tracks ("Cannibal Cafe" and "I'm Real Scared") were initially released in studio recordings on their debut album, 1985's ...And No One Else Wanted to Play; "Gimme Some Water" was originally written and recorded by Eddie Money; a studio recording of "Beautiful, Unlike You and I" would later be released as its own single in 1993. The remaining three live tracks are unique to this recording.
Track 8, "The Electric Chair", is a demo version of a song from the band's second album, If You Swear, You'll Catch No Fish, recorded at Technical Difficulties Studio in Edmonton, in early 1986.
Tracks 9 and 10 are taken from a studio recording session at Power Zone Studio in Edmonton, in late 1986. "She's Not on the Menu" is a rearranged and rerecorded version of a song from ...And No One Else Wanted to Play that had previously served as the A-side of a self-released 7".
Tracks 11–13 are outtakes from their third album, Better Than a Stick in the Eye, recorded at Profile Studios, Vancouver, BC, June 1988. "Wonder What They're Thinking" is a cover of a song originally by the Canadian punk band Personality Crisis.
