ARBUS, Diane. Hellnation, Cheerleaders for Imperialism, San Francisco: Slap A Ham Records, 1999. Record cover, with vinyl LP and lyric sheet, 12 1/4 x 12 1/4 inches.
The entire front of the record sleeve reproduces Arbus's 1967 image “Patriotic young man with a flag, N.Y.C.†As was common among punk bands, Hellnation undoubtedly used the image without permission, as the Arbus estate is very controlling and the photographer is not credited. This Kentucky trio called itself “kings of the motherfuckin' thrash,†and, indeed, the record comprises nearly thirty short, fast, and furious songs that are nearly indistinguishable from one another. Near fine condition, in dustjacket with tiny edgewear and rubbing
