Once thought to be to dangerous to manufacture (not, as you might imagine, because of big Dick’s seductive brand of quietly ball-busting, sedately gut-wrenching, low impact brain-pounding, fundamentalist propaganda) but because this release could put the vengeful wrath of Satan himself onto Negativland’s case, and we don’t need that at all!

Of course, you will be taking this risk just by listening to it....but volatile material such as this cannot and must not be locked up in our warehouse vaults any longer! It must be released now, before our entire stock of other innocent entertainments become consumed in a mysterious chemical explosion or disappear into a bottomless chasm created on our property by the largest earthquake in California history or....worse! God only knows what will happen, but it’s in your hands now.

And what, exactly, is on this CD? Originally released on cassette, this revised reissue of Pastor Dick includes the original "Muriel’s Purse Fund," in which accused thief Pastor Dick tries to recoup some stolen money with a promise to get drunk on the air...and he really does! New additions include: Pastor Dick’s Fellowship Dinner stand-up routine, the problems of driving a Dodge Demon, an expanded Bible Quiz, Pastor Dick’s expose on the cult of Mormonism, an honest-to-God 16 page religious pamphlet (Pastor Dick’s "Flagship Faith") and other cool Christian packaging goodies. The disrespectful mix by Negativland continues throughout, and, reliable as the Rock Of Ages, the program stopping "Fuck You" guy is always on the phone.

The Over the Edge program is history’s longest-running freeform radio show, as heard on Thursdays at midnight on KPFA FM in Berkeley, California since 1981. Originally helmed by the late Don Joyce, and now by Jon “Wobbly” Leidecker.
