Record Collectors Are Pretentious Assholes is hardcore punk band Poison Idea's second EP.[2][3] It was released in 1985 through Fatal Erection Records.[4][5]
The artwork, coupled with the title, is a joke at the expense of guitarist Pig Champion, as it is a picture of his extensive record collection.
Critical reception
[edit]Trouser Press wrote that "the blind rage of songs like 'Die on Your Knees' and 'Don’t Like It Here' ... is as formidable as pre-domestication Iggy."[5] AllMusic wrote that the EP "fine-tune[ed] the band's blistering sound and fatalistic worldview."[2]
