Teenage Shutdown! I'm a No-Count, sometimes referred to as "Volume 4,'" is the fourth installment in the Teenage Shutdown! series of garage rock compilations put out by Tim Warren of Crypt Records, which is available on both LP and compact disc formats. This volume was released on October 6, 1998 and is primarily composed of harder rocking fast-tempo material as indicated in the sub-heading which reads, "19 Teen Punk Stomp classics!" The collection takes its name from the twelfth track, "Im a No-Count," by Ty Wagner & the Scotchmen, from the Los Angeles area. Like all of the entries in the series, the collection was compiled and mastered by Warren, using original 45 rpm records selected from the collection of noted garage rock archivist, Mike Markesich (colloquially known as "Mop Top Mike"). The photograph which appears on the front cover is of ? & the Mysterians, but none of their songs are included on this compilation. The packaging includes liner notes providing information about the songs and bands.
The set begins with "Bad Woman" by the Fallen Angels from Syracuse, New York. It features protopunk anthems, such as "1523 Blair," by the Outcasts from San Antonio, Texas and "We're Pretty Quick," by the Chob, from Albuquerque, New Mexico. "I'm a Nothing" is by the Magic Plants, a couple of whose members would go on to join the Left Banke. Other songs included on the compilation are "Stop it Baby," by the Heard, from Rochester, New York, "I'm Gonna Get in That Girl's Mind," by the Reddlemen, from Angleton, Texas, and "I'm Gone," by the Gents, from Bermuda.
