Wow this really sounds amazing. It’s like they got a massive budget to work with and Ludwig mastered it. So glad I bought the OG. pure analog, drums in particular sound amazing.

I wonder if Bad Brains will ever get the masters for the SST releases to remaster like their other albums they are doing now?

if anyone has just the lp sleeve and wants to sell it dm me, will pay decent. any press is good

Definitely one of the greatest record of the 20th century, which means, of all time!

Vinyl is the only way to listen to this album if you ask me. The cd and streaming versions are flat and very low volume and this OG version jumps out of my speakers.

Not sure why reggae is added as a genre, there is not a single reggae song on this release. Changed the master but all the individual releases still show reggae and it’s extremely misleading.

On the lookout for all colors, casually.
Has anyone seen a red one?
