A Smaller Circle of Friends (AKA: Bill Bartell Rides Again) is a Germs tribute EP featuring The Adolescents, White Flag and The Deadbeats doing Germs cover songs. These songs were commissioned for a second volume of the Germs tribute compilation curated by Bill Bartell (RIP), A Small Circle of Friends (1996).

A2: White Flag –Manimal
B1: The Deadbeats –Shut Down
(Insane version some claim better than the Germs’. Produced for this project.)
Catalog number SPR043.
