Dead Kennedys – Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death

I predict these pups will keep going up in value if all of the inserts are included & the media is in good shape. I can see these getting up there. Very happy I picked one up in an auction a couple weeks ago. Has been on my list of grails for years

4 stars/5, my copy sounds great! Quality slightly lower on 2 first tracks side A due to recordings, I imagine. No biggie still. Worth it if you want DKs best. The only big con was the album's edges being almost dangerously rough. Had to sand them smooth myself with fine sand paper. Now album feels, plays great! DO IT!

My copy lacks “virus 57” on A-side label (black with silver bat)

My copy has all the same info, except there's a barcode. Anyone else have one like it?

Initial eyeball review: Nice presentation, the cover art is replicated well, and the labels are good looking too. The most glaring issue is that the “booklet” is really just the CD booklet and not comic-sized like the original. The art reproduction quality is worse here, and it’s hard to read the tiny print.
Sound/Pressing Quality: Sounds great, the studio tracks are excellent, the live ones aren't so great, but that's just the nature of the recording. Impressive for a Rainbo pressing in my opinion. Nothing beats the original though, and I'll have to stay on the lookout for a copy with all the yummy insert goodies and that bonus flexi. Overall, I'm glad I finally picked up this classic from one of my favorite punk groups!

This sounds pretty awful and distorted, probably a CD master. The supplied CD booklet is a nice laughable touch.

The Best Remaster Of This Album! The DK Albums That Are Remastered By John Cuniberti And Are On The Manifesto Label Are The Best Remaster. Anything John Cuniberti Had Remastered In His Career Is Guaranteed To Be Clear & High Quality, Not Sound Compressed Or Be "Loud". He Even Discussed The Remastering Process Of This Reissue On The Steve Hoffman Forms.

It's too bad the other three jerkoffs got control of the back catalog because Alternative Tentacles would still be selling all the old DK stuff pressed from the original lacquers like a bunch of their other back catalog titles. And also Jello Biafra would be getting paid.

"Includes a 24-page booklet"

Also known as the booklet from the CD
Which wouldn't be quite as ironic if there was at least a download code as well
