Teen Babes from Monsanto is an EP record of cover songs released by the American rock band Redd Kross.

Release

Teen Babes from Monsanto was released in 1984 on Gasatanka Records and Filmworks, on 12-inch vinyl disc[nb 1] and Compact Cassette.[nb 1][nb 2]

Critical reception

In the words from John Dougan of AllMusic:

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

"The title says it all. Speedy, sloppy pop loaded with fuzzed-up guitars and whiny vocals. Mostly covers (Stooges, Kiss, Bowie), it's a great little statement of purpose from these '70s hard-rock babes-turned-adults."[1]

Reissues

Teen Babes from Monsanto has never been released on CD, but all its seven songs were included on the compilation CD Trance: Australian Tour 1992,[nb 3] released on the label Insipid Vinyl in 1992.

In June 2015, the record was reissued as a full-length LP under the title Teen Babes from Monsanto: Versión Especial,[nb 4][nb 5] a numbered limited edition of 250 copies, self-released by the band to commemorate the record's 31st anniversary, featuring three bonus cover versions and alternate double-fronted cover art designed by Jonathan Krop.[2]
