AMG Review of Day Late and a Dollar Short

All Music Guide

This collects thirty-some songs culled from old singles, EPs and compilation tracks. A Day Late and a Dollar Short is good for completists, but maddening to listen to because the recording and songwriting quality veers all over the place. Joe Queer said of the compilation: "It's really cool that all the old Queers songs have finally been compiled onto one release cause it's always been the way I hoped it would be. Of course that was back in '83, but things always did take a little longer than expected when the Queers were involved."
