T.R.A.S.H. (Tubes Rarities and Smash Hits) is a compilation album by the rock band The Tubes, released in November 1981.




Background


After four studio albums and a live album for A&M Records, the band were working on the Suffer for Sound album when they were dropped by the label. They subsequently signed a deal with Capitol Records in 1981, but to fulfil their contract, A&M released this collection of recordings in November that year, including tracks from their early singles and unreleased material. One track from the shelved Suffer for Sound album, "Drivin' All Night", was included as the album's opener.
T.R.A.S.H. has been described as the band's best album. A review from Billboard picked out the live version of Captain & Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together" as a highlight.
