Original cover

...And No One Else Wanted to Play is the first full-length album from Canadian punk band SNFU. The album was engineered by David Ferguson, recorded at Track Record Studios in Hollywood, California, US in December 1984, and released by BYO Records in 1985.

The album was well received at the time of its release, hailed in punk circuits as "[o]ne of the best Canadian releases in a long time."[2] Thereafter it remained an influential hardcore punk record and helped establish the skate punk subgenre. Writing for AllMusic, critic Paul Henderson called the album "[a] must for devoted fans of the genre and a worthy introduction to early-'80s hardcore for the uninitiated."[1]
