Recording notes: No Idols was recorded on October 10 or 11, at "some hippie's" home studio. All the Detroit bands recorded their songs there, and got to do two takes each--I don't know what happened to the alternate verions, or even if they were saved. Barry Henssler sings along on No Idols.

Notes: Two inserts, one of photos one of lyrics. Unfortunately no Fix photos were available. Later versions had three inserts (the third being a t-shirt ad). Later presses also had notes as to which bands had broken up and which were still active.

The original Process of Elimination artwork was by Jeff Nelson (Minor Threat/Dischord Records), but got lost in the mail. Early ads for the Process EP featured a completely different mock-up of the cover, presumably based on Jeff's art.

Here’s some more mandatory HC for y’all: The legendary PROCESS OF ELIMINATION compilation from 1981. Three pressings exist. The main diferences between them (apart from diff. label adresses and inserts): First two have silver labels with big holes (first with red print, second with black; 500 made of each) and a third pressing had a small spindle hole and yellow labels.
As you can hear, this babe is very raw and primitive and very, very charming! Every song on this pearl sounds like it couldn’t be held back for only more second. All bands bursting out with power and passion! Meatmen and Violent Apathy never did much for me (except for the killer “La Bamba” cover of the latter on the band’s one and only 7?). McDonalds seemed to be more of a joke band, but I love the short “Miniature Golf” hymn so much. Same goes for Youth Patrol of whom we know little. Toxic Reasonsdeliver an early version of “Riot Squad” and if you’ve never been been in a full scale riot with that song in your head, you definitely missed something! The remaining big three are the Necros, Negative Approach and The Fix. The Fix blow everything through the roof with their brutal power
