Editing Telephone Free Landslide Victory (section)

==About==
The band's lineup at the time of recording was [[David Lowery (musician)|David Lowery]] (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), [[Jonathan Segel]] (violin, keyboards, guitar, backing vocals), Chris Molla (guitar, backing vocals), [[Victor Krummenacher]] (bass, backing vocals), and [[kevtone|Anthony Guess]] (drums).  The album is the only Camper Van Beethoven record not to feature guitarist [[Greg Lisher]].  Lisher is actually listed in the album credits as a band member, but he did not join the band until after the album was recorded.

The reunited Camper Van Beethoven frequently features several of the album's songs in their set lists, including "[[Take the Skinheads Bowling]]", the [[country music|countrified]] [[Black Flag (band)|Black Flag]] cover "Wasted", the [[hardcore punk|hardcore]] send-up "Club Med Sucks", "The Day That Lassie Went to the Moon", "Ambiguity Song", and several of the instrumentals.

The band originally intended the album to be titled ''Telephone Tree Landslide Victory'', but a friend who was producing advance copies of the LP on cassette mistakenly replaced "Tree" with "Free".<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Fricke |first1=David |author-link1=David Fricke|date=19 May 1988|title=Camper Van Beethoven's Notes from the Underground |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/camper-van-beethovens-notes-from-the-underground-82927/ |magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|access-date=8 November 2018 }}</ref>
