  Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables is the debut album by the Dead Kennedys, released initially on Cherry Red Records in the UK in 1980 and eventually through Faulty Products in the US (later by the DKs' own Alternative Tentacles label).
The back cover was reprinted with the heads of the band members cut off, but this solution was found to be unsatisfactory to the Sounds of Sunshine, forcing an entirely different photo of four old ladies in a living room (with the Alternative Tentacles bat mascot pasted over a picture frame).
Some copies of the first American CD pressing of Fresh Fruit by Alternative Tentacles were accidentally mislabeled at the pressing plant with a Christian radio program, a mistake discovered the hard way when some Christian stations played the program without screening it.

"Fresh Fruit..." is the only album I ever put in my CD player and actually felt blown away by it.
The music was tightly wound, the lyrics were fresh and intelligent and Jello's warbling voice (though a little disarming at first) became my favorite part of the whole package.

 Dead Kennedys : iSOUND.COM
Yet the band's first album, "Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables" (September 1980), is a badly flawed record; totally inadequate production managed to drain virtually all of the power, if not the conviction, from an otherwise excellent set of songs.
Had it been handled properly the album would unquestionably have been one of the best punk albums ever recorded; as it was the record fails to convince entirely.
"Plastic Surgery Disasters" (November 1982), is a vast improvement on Fresh Fruit and is the band's finest collection of songs; the savage wit and political satire remained to the fore, but the music, whilst retaining its energy, also included such unexpected moments as Fluoride playing the clarinet.

While the impact and absurdity of the collage remains, the lyrics for the album are microscopic and blurry due to the half-tone printing making it hard to read for those not already familiar with the lyrics.
A worthy bonus is the inclusion of a nearly hour long DVD, “Fresh Fruit for Rotting Eyeballs” featuring interviews with band members, critics, rare early live footage, etc. chronicling the origins of the band, their early days, the recording and release of this album and their importance to the music world.
Lead singer and most recognizable face of the band, Jello Biafra, is not included in the documentary after having lost a lawsuit filed by the other band members for unpaid royalties from his (and the band’s old) record label, Alternative Tentacles.

The pitch-fl humor of songs like "I Kill Children" and "Funland At The Beach" upped the ante of punk's deliberate offensiveness in its time and reveals today's pseudo-punk whiners as the childish pablum-pushers they are.
