Description
‘Ballot Result’ is a posthumous live album by American punk band Minutemen, released in 1987 by SST Records.
Following ‘3-Way Tie (For Last)’, Minutemen decided to do a live album entitled, ‘Three Dudes, Six Sides, Half Studio, Half Live’. The band printed ballots which they passed out to fans during their summer and fall 1985 performances as well as inserted into the first pressing of ‘3-Way Tie (For Last)’; the ballots would determine which songs the band would record for the live portion of the album.
Unfortunately, the death of guitarist and lead vocalist D. Boon on 22nd December 1985 scuttled Minutemen, putting an end to both the band and the planned live album. Surviving members Mike Watt and George Hurley decided to use the ballots and existing live recordings (many sent in by fans and friends) to compile the album.
