LP III
LP III is the third album by the Minneapolis punk rock band The Soviettes. It was released on CD and LP on June 25, 2005 to mixed critical reviews.
Recording and release
LP III continued the Soviettes' trend of numerically naming their albums (their previous two albums being LP and LP II). Unlike the previous two which were signed with Adeline Records, this album was signed with Fat Wreck Chords. Reflecting on the change, bandmember Maren "Sturgeon" Macosko noted in an interview that "[t]he biggest difference between Adeline and Fat is, well, the size." The second track on the album, "¡Paranoia Cha Cha Cha!", was first released on April 20, 2004 on the Rock Against Bush, Vol. 1 compilation, part of the Rock Against Bush series. The disc was produced by Fat Wreck Chords, making "¡Paranoia Cha Cha Cha!" the first Soviettes track on the label.
The other tracks on the album were recorded at the Terrarium Studios in Northeast Minneapolis during February, 2005. As before, Annie Holoien and Maren "Sturgeon" Macosko played guitar, Danny Henry played the drums, and Susy Sharp played the bass guitar while all four bandmembers sang. Every track on the album clocked in at under three minutes in length. The album was released on June 28, 2005 on CD and limited-edition pink vinyl, of which 220 copies were pressed.
