"Amusement" is a song by
Hüsker Dü released as a
single in 1981.[1] It was the band's first single, b/w the song "
Statues."[2] This release finds the band in a period where its music was drifting from
punk to
post-punk. The single's pressing was limited to 2,000 copies upon its release. The two tracks appear on the Everything Falls Apart and More CD.
In 2013,
the Numero Group reissued the single with the studio outtakes "Writer's Cramp" and "Let's Go Die" as a
7" pairing in a
gatefold jacket. The studio recordings are remastered from a first-generation
sub-master, while "Amusement" is from the original
live board tape. The cover features drummer Grant Hart's original Fake Name Graphx artwork.[3]
