"Corrected Slogans was first pressed by Art & Language and The Red Crayola in 1976; it was the first mention of the The Red Crayola's name on LP since 1968. The only review it received at the time was by Glenn O'Brian in Interview magazine; his response was a positive one, though he found the material ironic. By the time the album was made available to the public, it was clear that The Red Crayola would continue with Jesse Chamberlain joining Mayo Thompson. This was the start of five years of steady activity. Corrected Slogans was repressed on the UK label Recommended Records in 1981. Drag City reissued it for the first time on CD in 1997."

"Originally released in 1976, Corrected Slogans presents the first audible stirrings of Red Crayola since their 1968 God Bless the Red Crayola and All Who Sail With It. In the intervening years, Mayo Thompson made what has been hailed as the finest album in the history of rock music (Corky's Debt To His Father), moved from Texas to NY, and began to collaborate with the group of artists known collectively as Art & Language. As a provisional propaganda piece, Corrected Slogans is rancorously, unabashedly, and gloriously wordy. It's work-driven quality most closely recalls Kangaroo? (the next Crayola collaboration with Art & Language). While Kangaroo? was a pop album, Corrected Slogans takes a sparse acoustic setting, allowing the many voices of the Art & Language troop to represent a socialist-style collective voice of the common man."
