Reviews
- Bought a used copy of this great album. I have never heard it on vinyl and was not expecting much, but it blew me away. I have never heard it sound so good. Clear, punchy, quiet. A++
- While randomly checking the SST website on Jan.1 (looking for that Stains reissue!), I noticed THIS was available (it wasn't in stock just before Christmas!) for $32.99 and I ordered it; it was 'out of stock' as of Jan.3 and seems to be unavailable once more.
It arrived today, and I feel like I won the lottery: thick tip heavy gatefold jacket with beautiful art; very clean, heavy (might even be 180g?) vinyl; and phenomenal sound that blows away my mid-80s pressing (not to mention CD versions I have come across). It was, in short, everything a deluxe reissue SHOULD be-- except widely available or well publicized (or publicized at all...).
While the randomness of availability is galling (and I concede that I was especially lucky this time), I wonder whether we all might start cutting Mr. Ginn some slack and give credit where credit's due? In this case, he seems to have done some justice to a fundamental part of the SST back catalog, and I've had similar luck with direct orders from SST (in particular reissues of Bad Brains, Black Flag, and Saint Vitus) in recent weeks... 
Mine has a thick tip on gatefold jacket and sounds phenomenal. I had a Rainbo pressing and it was full of non fill, almost unlistenable. This is the pressing to get.- What's the difference between this pressing and this one https://www.discogs.com/release/1424847-Minutemen-Double-Nickels-On-The-Dime ? They look to be the same. Same runouts.
SST must have pressed some more this year (2021). It was available from their online store via Amazon . This really sounds punchy as hell and I wasn’t disappointed.
Very quiet wax, centered soundstage and heavy vinyl. The jacket is of heavy, quality stock. SSTSUPERSTORE on Amazon has a few of these left at about $40, condition was described as used but arrived from SST in shrink, vinyl was unplayed and perfect.- Such a classic. Bought a CD copy when I was 14 or something (almost two decades ago haha). Happy to get this on vinyl now. Sounds really good and the gatefold is awesome.
I do wonder how this one differs from the other represses?
