Just purchased this at a record store a week ago and my copy matches this release exactly. Was not expecting the vinyl to sound this good. Disc is flat, dead quiet, and the sound crushes streaming platforms. The artwork is also pretty well done for a reissue.

Rainbo Records was likely not the plant these were made in if this is a newer pressing. United bought Rainbo and their presses. Not sure how this would compare to an original, but I am very happy with my copy.

My copy is probably late 90’s/early 00’s with a CD-sized Cruz/SST reference catalogue. It’d be nice if all LPs were back to around $9 again..

I got this around 2002. The hole is/was tight on the spindle. It sounds great, thanks to SPOT, RIP.

I just bought this brand new at a Black Flag gig in Manchester yesterday for £25. I haven't listened to it yet but surprised to see that it comes with a plastic inner sleeve. Very nice. 👌

Just purchased the most recent SST reissue from a local shop. Vinyl feels heavy and plays really good up until some weird clicks in the last track Scream. Do all copies have this glitch?

Does anyone have an idea on what year this was re-issued?

Like all SST vinyl I own this sounds way better than any digital version you'll ever hear and it's got great dynamic range so you can crank it real loud and it doesn't wear on your ears.
