About "Blitzkrieg Bop"
By this point in their career, the boys have the fastest recording of "Blitzkrieg Bop" at 2:05, beating Leave Home's bonus concert recording. However, the cut on It's Alive is faster and it includes cheers, so removing them gives the length of the song to be about 1:58-2:00 in length making it the shortest before the "Loco Live" era.
