Teen Babes from Monsanto is an EP of cover songs released by American rock band Redd Kross. [3]
Teen Babes from Monsanto was released in 1984 on Gasatanka Records and Filmworks, on 12-inch vinyl disc [nb 1] and Compact Cassette. [nb 1] [nb 2]
It was their first release after changing their name from Red Cross to Redd Kross due to a threatened lawsuit from the International Red Cross.
AllMusic critic John Dougan said of the album, "The title says it all. Speedy, sloppy pop loaded with fuzzed-up guitars and whiny vocals. Mostly covers ( Stooges, Kiss, Bowie), it's a great little statement of purpose from these ' 70s hard-rock babes-turned-adults." [1]
All seven songs were included on the Insipid Vinyl label compilation CD Trance: Australian Tour 1992, released in 1992. [nb 3]
In June 2015, the record was reissued as a full-length LP under the title Teen Babes from Monsanto: Versión Especial, [nb 4] [nb 5] a numbered limited edition of 250 copies, self-released by the band to commemorate the record's 31st anniversary, featuring three bonus cover versions and alternate double-fronted cover art designed by Jonathan Krop.
