She's Not on the Menu is an EP by Edmonton, Alberta-based punk rock band SNFU. It was self-released by the band in 1986.
Background and release
SNFU planned to issue a new 7" record in 1986 when the release of their second album, If You Swear, You'll Catch No Fish, was delayed.[1] For Side A, they recorded a reworked version (credited as a "dunce mix") of the EP's title track. The song had originally appeared on their debut album, ...And No One Else Wanted to Play.
The two tracks on Side B were taken SNFU's first recording session, held in November 1982. The songs were recorded in the studios of CJSR-FM and had originally been intended for release on a compilation of underground Edmonton bands to be titled West Watch.[2] The compilation was not completed, and the songs were later used by SNFU as an informal demo. The EP marked the first official release of these two tracks.
The EP was limited to 500 copies on colored vinyl, with original artwork from singer Ken Chinn.[1] The newly-formed Cargo Records helped to distribute the record, and the success of its sales later influenced Cargo's decision to sign SNFU to a two-record contract.[1] "She's Not on the Menu (dunce mix)" was later reissued on the compilation album The Last of the Big Time Suspenders.
