Minutemen - Ballot Result"Ballot Result" is a posthumous live album by Minutemen, released in 1987 by SST Records. Following 3 Way Tie (For Last), Minutemen decided to do a live album entitled, Three Dudes, Six Sides, Half Studio, Half Live. The group printed ballots which they passed out to fans during their summer and fall 1985 performances as well as inserted into the first pressing of 3 Way Tie (For Last); the ballots would determine which songs the band would record for
