NEW LP
New sealed copy. 2026 repress.
3-Way Tie (For Last) is the fourth and final studio album by Minutemen, released in 1985 through SST Records. It was issued shortly before the death of guitarist and vocalist D. Boon, who also painted the album’s cover.
The record combines original material with covers of songs by the Urinals, Meat Puppets, Blue Öyster Cult, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Roky Erickson. Bassist Mike Watt collaborated with former Black Flag bassist Kira Roessler on several songs, including “Political Nightmare”, “No One”, “Stories”, and “What Is It?”. The closing cover of Erickson’s “Bermuda” features Watt singing his vocal over the telephone.
The album also included ballots asking listeners to vote on songs for a future compilation, which became Ballot Result. As the final Minutemen studio album, it closed the band’s recording career only months before Boon’s death in December 1985.
