FECES BLOWING EVERYWHERE!!!

Recorded live at The Bowery, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on November 11th, 1984 by a would-be bootlegger who was recording the show. The Maxell XL II-S audio cassette was confiscated by Bill MacLeslie, who was The Replacements soundman for that tour. He confiscated it just as the band start to play "Let It Be".

The audio dropout heard during "Hear You Been to College" is caused by Paul Westerberg who accidentally pressed the record button on a Walkman while listening back to the master copy. If you listen closely he can be heard saying "Stop, 's' enough".

On January 25, 1985, Twin/Tone produced and released a cassette-only version of the show. The title The Shit Hits The Fans is a spoof of the Circle Jerks song, "When the Shit Hits the Fan". According to the label, only 10,000 copies were produced. 9,276 of them sold immediately; the rest, were given away as promo copies.

Only five of the cassette's 24 songs were written by the band. The rest were covers.

On March 22nd, 2007, The Bowery, was bulldozed to the ground.
