Human Butt is the fifth live spoken word album by Henry Rollins, released in 1992 by Quarterstick Records. It was reissued with new artwork on 2.13.61 Records on February 3, 2009. It is made up of recordings from 1989 and 1990 from Chicago, IL, Santa Monica, CA, Hamburg, Germany and Lausanne, Switzerland.

On the 2009 reissue track listing, "Hated" is not listed, and it shows "Decoration" as the first track of disc two. They run consecutively and are the only two tracks to be included from the same performance.

Liner Notes[edit]

The construction of Human Butt was at the time, an ambitious undertaking. I sat on the floor of a small apartment and went through several cassette and DAT tapes until I had what I thought would pass as a 2CD set of material. Thrilled by this new format, I put it together and flung it out into the world. It went out of print almost immediately. It took awhile (years) but we finally got around to re-releasing it. For many of you, this is a new record, for others, just an echo of a bygone era. Please enjoy these ancient ramblings from the last century.

– Henry Rollins
