Release.
"Kill Yr Idols" was released in October 1983, originally only in Germany.
"Shaking Hell" was recorded live at the Plugg Club in New York City, October 15, 1983.
In 1995, the tracks on "Kill Yr Idols" not found on 1983's "Confusion Is Sex" were appended to the DGC reissue of that album.
Reception.
Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic commented, "These songs resemble the ones on "Confusion Is Sex", except that they're a bit more developed, especially the title track and 'Brother James'. ["Kill Yr Idols"] results in a fascinating wade through Sonic Youth's early flashes of genius."
