This was the Government's first studio release. The recording is described as garagey and demonstrated Paterson's deadpan delivery and scathing social satire, here skewering the disco scene - or perhaps even the disco-hating knuckleheads of the day ("Disco music is for boys with limp wrists / I'm only interested in men with two fists"). Neither song captures the eerie intensity that would follow, especially after the band reached for the synthesizers on the brilliant 'Zippers of Fire'. Still, this would inspire bands with an edgier sound like Fifth Column, Kinetic Ideals, and Rent Boys Inc. The songs on here are:1. Hemingway (Hated Disco)
2. I Only Drive My Car At Night
