Poison Idea was formed in 1980 by vocalist Jerry A. (aka Jerry Lang). The initial lineup consisted of Jerry A., Chris Tense (guitar), Glen Estes (bass), and Dean Johnson (drums). Inspired by Black Flag and other early Southern California hardcore acts, they were further influenced by Discharge and Los Angeles's the Germs. Germs singer Darby Crash's influence on singer Jerry A., vocally, lyrically, and philosophically, was considerable, and Poison Idea followed the Germs’ extremist punk ethic. Tense, who previously had played with Jerry in a group called the Stand, was replaced within a year by Tom "Pig Champion" Roberts (guitar), formerly of the Imperialist Pigs. Poison Idea’s debut, 1983's Pick Your King EP was a short, lo-fi blast of hardcore fury. The jacket featured a "choice" of two kings, Jesus (front cover) and Elvis Presley (back cover). In 1984, Chris Tense returned to the band, this time on bass, replacing Glen Estes (later of Portland, Oregon punk/metal band Final Warning), and the group released the Record Collectors Are Pretentious Assholes 12”The back cover of the album featured a picture of Elvis Presley with the words scribed below "The King" as a response to their previous release, the Pick Your King ep which had a picture of Jesus on the front and Elvis on the back. Louisiana Eyehategod vocalist Mike Williams cited this album title as his favourite of any album in the liner notes for the 2006 Century Media reissue of Eyehategod's Take as Needed for Pain (Take as Needed for Pain apparently came second). The artwork, coupled with the title, is a joke at the expense of guitarist "Pig Champion", as it is a picture of his extensive record collection. Hardcore band Cold World released an EP called Pretentious Assholes in parody of this EP, featuring similar artwork with pictures of "collectible" versions of Poison Idea records.
