Intrigued by the prospect of an audiophile punk LP, I compared back to back to my 1st issue NM UK pressing. Kevin Gray has cleaned up the sound and it has much greater clarity, esp at top end. But the original is much more in-your-face/impolite, which is what it is meant to sound like.
The best kept secret on the Acoustic Sounds website is their affiliation with Drastic Plastic, which means most of the Drastic Plastic titles are pressed by QRP and most are cut and mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio. Many of the covers are printed at Stoughton. The ones that aren't pressed by QRP are pressed by Pallas in Germany and mastered by Masterdisk. All these are audiophile pressings and limited runs, get them while you can at retail price here: https://store.acousticsounds.com/index.cfm?get=results&searchtext=drastic+plastic
