Notes
Sleeve variation: "The Mutants" screenprinted in "dayglo" phosphorescent green over the black and white sleeve with artist name "MUTNTS".
Labels with large center hole showing Artist as MUTNTS. Side A title printed as "New Darkages".
Some copies exist with a folded newsprint poster (approx. 12" x 24") in a loose plastic bag printed with "The Mutants" in the same dayglo green. These are quite fragile and few have survived.

Reviews
- One of my favorites of the lesser known San Francisco new wave bands, this release sounds a bit more like some of the Athens, GA bands of that time than the more arty or punky Bay Area bands they played with at local clubs. There's a poppy feel to it and a let's party attitude that suggests they are having a lot of fun. Going Down to the Insect Lounge has a catchy sing along New Wave anthem feel to it and usd to get a lot of radio airplay from me in the early 80s.
