Following the band's breakup, SST Records purchased New Alliance and reissued a number of recordings on compact disc and vinyl. SST also released a live album, Ballot Result,[5] and Minuteflag, the result of an earlier collaboration with Black Flag.[6] A three volume compilation, Post-Mersh, which combined several of the Minutemen's EPs and albums, was released between 1987 and 1989.[7] The band's songs continued to appear in compilations, videos and soundtracks; "Corona" was the theme music of MTVs Jackass. A compilation album featuring a selection of songs from the band's career, the Watt-compiled Introducing the Minutemen, was released in 1998. We Jam Econo, a feature-length Minutemen film, appeared in theaters in February 2005.[8]
