Not Richard, But Dick is the seventh studio album by the Dead Milkmen, released in 1993 via Hollywood Records.[7][8] Like Soul Rotation, the album was a commercial disappointment.[9] After being out of print for years, Hollywood Records released the album for digital download on April 2, 2013. The title of the album is not a reference to "Tricky" Dick Nixon (former POTUS Richard M. Nixon), but rather a person by the name of Richard J. "Dick" Latch, who preferred to be addressed as "Not Richard, but Dick."[10]
