A Big 10-8 Place is the third album by Negativland, released in 1983. It was the first album with the involvement of band member Don Joyce. The album's title is a reference to the radio ten-code "10-8," which means "back in service" or "available for next call" in the context of common CB radio usage.
The original release had unusual packaging, and included a small plastic bag of lawn clippings or mulch, a "No Other Possibility" bumper sticker, and a map of Contra Costa County, California, where the band originated.
The album was re-released by Seeland Records, then with distribution from Mordam Records, in 1994. It was re-released again in 2007 by Seeland, packaged with a DVD release of No Other Possibility, Negativland's video release.
