I own this one. Sleeve is correct, but my vinyl has "Faulty Products" to the right of Dead Kennedys, and not I.R.S. Plus the other side has Alternative Tentacles symbol, not DK symbol. Cant seem to find mine listed... does anyone know?...

The record number isn't logic! States that this was released on Roadrunner in 1980, but other releases from 1981 have lower record numbers than this! My guess is that this Roadrunner was released in 1981, fits much better in the release plans and with the other record numbers.

Yup - me too. Original "heady" band photo.

If you care what your music sounds like AVOID THE RE-MASTERED RELEASE
Can you believe they used the ultra-compressed CD mastering for the vinyl?
"Mastered by John Cuniberti at The Plant Mastering, Sausalito, CA with East Bay Ray"
How can they release a 180g vinyl with a crappy MP3 "mastering" job?
Grating and abrasive, thin and non-dynamic.
Although the packaging is great (180g, pic-label, poster), sound-wise on vinyl this LP is a
TOTAL WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY
Shame on John Cuniberti

Hi! Does anyone have some information about the pressing with the runout-groove-etching of "DO YOU DESERVE TO LIVE?" on the b-side (instead of "WELL??? WHO ARE THE BRAIN POLICE?"). The vinyl of this version seems to be 'thinner' but apart from that it has the same cover, labels and includes the poster. Thanks.
