The Frantix catalog was first reissued by Afterburn Records, an Australian label, in 2003.  This compilation included both 7” EPs, most of the tracks from their 1983 Insane Tunnel cassette, and live tracks from a gig at the Rainbow Music Hall opening for the Circle Jerks in October, 1983.

Alternative Tentacles went a bit further with their reissue, including both 7”s, all songs from the cassette and all songs from the live gig, including a jaw-dropping rendition of Interstellar Overdrive.
