Lame Gig Contest was Crimpshrine's first album. It was turned down by Lookout Records, but was released in Germany. All of the songs (same recordings) made it onto Duct Tape Soup and Sound of a New World being born, except for "Concrete Lawns" and "New Scenery". The only other song that isn't available on the aforementioned albums is "I Don't Know Why", which is on the Benicia... EP.
