7" of the Month Club

The 7" of the Month Club is a series of twelve 7" records released by punk band NOFX over the course of about one year. Each record was planned for release at the beginning of its specified month, but it quickly fell behind schedule, with records being released shortly after the specified month. The record expected for December was released in early February due to the holiday closing of record label Fat Wreck Chords, and the twelfth "January" record was released in early March.

The records included several running games: for one, a 24-part joke appears in one-part sections on each side of each record. Also, the backs of the record sleeves form a 12-piece puzzle that reveals an artistic rendering of the members of the band.
