Reviews
I'm pretty sure the album was released in 1981. I picked it up at Rebop Records in Boston that fall...
so i see BR used the artwork on the back of this release before SP used it here : https://www.discogs.com/Skinny-Puppy-Dig-It/master/3436
Some history infos:
In the matrix of this record they etched "SOLIDARN OSC" to express their sympathy with the Solidarity (Polish trade union) movement in 1980, you can read it on:
