A Day Late and a Dollar Short is a compilation album by the American punk rock band the Queers, released in January 1996 by Lookout!

in 2006, A Day Late and a Dollar Short was reissued by Asian Man Records the following year, having been remastered by the band's longtime studio collaborator Mass Giorgini.

[1] On "Trash This Place", the band members recorded voices for the background and then sped up the tape to mimic the Ramones song "We're a Happy Family".

[2] The band's friend Brian Barrett was hanging out in the studio wearing a T-shirt that read "Beat me, bite me, whip me, fuck me, cum all over my tits, tell me that you love me, then get the fuck out"; deciding that they needed one more song, they invited their older drinking buddy William H. "Pappy" McClaren into the recording booth, plied him with alcohol, and asked him to read the phrase on Barrett's shirt repeatedly while they played instrumental parts they had made up on the spot.

[1] Tulu moved to New York City after Love Me, but Queer and Rutherford continued to write new songs, bringing in new bassist Keith Hages, formerly of Los Angeles punk band the Berlin Brats.

[3] By this time the lineup had solidified with Queer, drummer Hugh O'Neill, and bassist Chris "B-Face" Barnard, who recorded the band's second album, Love Songs for the Retarded, in November 1992.

[1][7][8][9] Following this material on A Day Late and a Dollar Short are three previously-unreleased outtakes from the session: alternate takes of "Wimpy Drives Through Harlem" and "Nothing to Do", and a recording of the Grow Up song "Gay Boy".

This lineup of the Queers performed a 16-song set on radio station WFMU in New Jersey on April 11, 1994, which is included as the final track on A Day Late and a Dollar Short.

[10] Reviewing A Day Late and a Dollar Short for AllMusic, critic Kembrew McLeod rated it 4 stars out of 5 and wrote that it was "good for completists, but maddening to listen to because the recording and songwriting quality veers all over the place.
