Mission Of Burma – Signals, Calls, And Marches

Mine has same runouts but no 7” and says Made In Czech Republic on shrink wrap

This was cut from analog master tapes and it shows !! sound is very good!!!!!!

I own the 1981 original of SC&M but picked this up for the side 2 tracks and ran a comparison. This is a decent reissue. It’s quieter with the whole EP on one side rather than 3 tracks. A little crackling but not the quality issues others have shared. The mastering is faithful and treats the songs well - cymbal wash is a little reigned in, and the drums are a little tighter in the lows which makes me lean to the original which has a bit more punch and dynamism. It’s a solid option to get all these tracks, given the originals are a bit harder to come across these days.

Does anyone know if the booklet includes lyrics? I didn't see mention of it in the release notes so I just wanna confirm.

Rather than being a standalone release, shouldn't this be a version of — perhaps even an existing one — of https://www.discogs.com/master/153667-Mission-Of-Burma-Signals-Calls-And-Marches?

sounds horrible. i mean really horrible. DO NOT BUY

Matador is quite the careless bunch with quality control on their reissues. I bought a brand new copy with vinyl rot, edgewarp, and what appears to be minor heat damage. Noisy as all heck. I'll settle for an original.

I have 2 versions. The one with the matrix above has a glossy textured cover. The other has a matte finished cover and adds "M-2" hand written on both sides. This may indicate another mix. I do not know. Anybody got any info?

How does this pressing sound versus the Matador pressing from 2008?

I take it this version is not the Golden cut?
