This grouping collects all versions of "Dirty Rotten".
Many variations of this release exist. The first version was released in 1983 on 7" format as The "Dirty Rotten EP" (played at 33 RPM) with 22 songs and the cover depicted the drummer's head photographed from the back while playing live. After the EP sold out, D.R.I. released it again in 1983 and changed the name of the EP to its current title "The Dirty Rotten LP", featuring both the same cover and same track listing but in different order.
The "Dirty Rotten LP" was reissued on CD for the first time in 1988, featuring 28 tracks, including some that were not on the original EP/LP. Some versions would also be combined with all four songs from their 1984 "Violent Pacification" EP. Both versions feature an alternate cover, which depicts a skeleton with a rifle dressed in an army suit.
The "Dirty Rotten LP" was reissued once again in 2003 as the "Dirty Rotten CD", with 22 bonus tracks. This reissue features the same cover as the 1988 version.
