Which Dead Kennedys album features the song 'California Über Alles'?

The Dead Kennedys album featuring “California Über Alles” is Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables. Released in 1980, it was the San Francisco punk band’s debut studio album and one of the early records to combine punk’s speed with sharply political songwriting.

“California Über Alles” was first issued as the Dead Kennedys’ debut single in June 1979. The band re-recorded it for Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, giving the album a version distinct from the original single recording. The song satirizes California politics, particularly the imagined authoritarian ambitions of then-governor Jerry Brown.

The album also includes “Holiday in Cambodia,” “Kill the Poor,” and “Police Truck.” Its original British release came through Cherry Red Records, and the record later appeared in multiple editions and reissues. A common mix-up is confusing the album with Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death, the 1987 compilation that contains the original single version.
