Mr.Rhoutheelyo: "For years i thought mine was a french press, but a friend made me doubth of It... And here It Is: I have an UK Press with wrong labels on both sides, which everytime makes me freakin' bad, and this "made in France" that seems so misleading, gives this Press an obscure background... Cool!"

Whoah, you got it wrong. You DO have a French pressing, yet a U.K. product. The matrices indicate the e.p. was manufactured by the record plant MPO (Moulages Plastiques de l'Ouest) in France. In the '80s and '90s MPO often pressed records for UK labels. For instance, iinm, every full-length, 10" and 7" record released by the legendary U.K. indie labels Sarah Records and The Subway Organization in the 1990s was pressed by MPO. All Sarah Records titles were released only for the U.K. market, despite having been manufactured in France; any copy sold outside of the U.K. was considered an import from the U.K., not from France. Likewise for this Dead Kennedys release - in the States it is considered a U.K., not a French, product, despite it being a French pressing.

Due to the matrix "DISCTRONICS (H)" this pressing was produced between 1988 and 1990

Can't agree with the other poster at all with regards to sound quality/mix. I can't compare to an original press in god we trust inc, but I can compare to a 1st press fresh fruit for rotting vegetables and they sound quite similar mix wise. This release is clearer than that 80s fresh fruit press, certainly nothing close to background vocals being drowned out by "added bass". This release is totally fine.

After DK's debut album "Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables" came this gem of an EP. When first listening you may notice that the tracks are a little rough around the edges in the mixing department but this was intentional. The band wanted to go more for a live take with the tracks instead of recording the tracks piece by piece. This why you hear chatter before the tracks get going. For me this brings a great authenticity to the EP.
"Moral Majority" and "We've got a bigger problem now" are instant classics. All though every track is gold. Fast and angry!!!
Fun fact: When this was originally released the US versions had to use a smaller cross so the band would not get fined for "Counterfeiting" ...... sigh oh America...

Meh pressing. Surface noise, pops, crackles and some small skips. The mastering sounds pretty good though.

My copy comes with A.T. mailorder inserts offering CDs. So this pressing is most likely later than 1984.

very cool idea, love it. sadly doesn't seem these are original copies. same goes for Dead Kennedys - Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death. not a big deal though, the DIY jacket and insert are still a really great way to make use of these LPs

The cross on the cover of the US edition is smaller than on all the European editions, because the full-sized cross would have put the band & label in danger of committing counterfeiting, according to an interview with Jello Biafra in 2014
