The Longest Line
The Longest Line is a 12" EP from NOFX, released on 1 May 1992. It has a place in punk history as the first release on Fat Wreck Chords, the label that went on to be the band's home. Dan Sites did the cover art. It came out between Ribbed in 1991 and White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean later that same year.
The first 200 copies were pressed on dark-blue vinyl, with some on grey and the rest on black, so early pressings are a collector's prize. A 2007 repress of 1,082 copies on "Peruvian" white vinyl sold out within a day. The band denied that the title was a reference to cocaine. Blink, later Blink-182, covered the title track on their Flyswatter demo tape, and all five songs were later gathered on The Longest EP.
