It has been reissued with the EP ''[[In God We Trust, Inc.]]'', which are the last eight tracks on the CD. The cover photo is "Hands" by photographer Michael Wells. The inside cover art features [[Winston Smith (artist)|Winston Smith]]'s [[collage]]s. Musically, many different elements bubble to the surface on ''Plastic Surgery Disasters'', including surf-rock, oddly psychedelic guitar textures, and traditional film music, including sections and guitar fills that resemble [[Ennio Morricone]] [[spaghetti western]] scores. These elements are not always immediately apparent under the high-speed thrash of music, but they are an indication of the Kennedys' musical uniqueness. The DKs would further these elements, to some extent, on their next release, 1985's ''[[Frankenchrist]]''. On the 2001 Manifesto release of the album, the beginning of "Government Flu" is a separate track entitled "Advice from Christmas Past". There is also a typing error on the Manifesto CDs so that "Bleed for Me" is entitled "Bleed for". On the original vinyl version, Side A was tracks 1-8 and Side B was tracks 9-13. Some vinyl versions have Side One as tracks 1-9 and Side Two as tracks 10-14. A music video was made for "Forest Fire" [http://youtube.com/watch?v=pwpJam_Dqkk]. ==Track listing== All songs written by [[Jello Biafra]] except when stated. # "Government Flu" – 2:59 # "Terminal Preppie" – 1:30 # "Trust Your Mechanic" – 2:55 # "Well Paid Scientist" – 2:21 # "Buzzbomb" (Jello Biafra/East Bay Ray) – 2:21 # "Forest Fire" – 2:22 # "[[Halloween (Dead Kennedys song)|Halloween]]" (Dead Kennedys) – 3:35 # "Winnebago Warrior" (Dead Kennedys) – 2:09 # "Riot" (Dead Kennedys) – 5:57 # "[[Bleed for Me]]" (Dead Kennedys) – 3:24 # "I Am the Owl" (Dead Kennedys) – 4:51 # "Dead End" – 3:56 ([[East Bay Ray]]) # "[[Moon Over Marin]]" (Jello Biafra/East Bay Ray) – 4:29 == Credits == * [[Jello Biafra]] - lead vocals, artwork * [[East Bay Ray]] - guitar, producer * [[Klaus Flouride]] - bass, backing vocals, clarinet <!-- sic --> * [[D.H.
