Recommendations
Reviews
- There were copies of this without inner sleeve for sale in german cut out in the mid 80ies. (I know that for sure because I purchased mine there and I never loose inner sleeves.)
I'm not sure if this makes another variant. Maybe later run of the pressing? But same matrix numbers. - side two on this release sound absolutely amazing...super punch...no distortion....play very loud....
- Got a Canadian lp , a little bit nervous about that pressing. However, nothing to worry about. «Uniform « is the. «Hit» here on side one. Side two , is just superb!
