I just received a copy of a print that matches these images and runouts directly from SST. There's no barcode on the shrink wrap. Has it been in print all these years? If so it certainly deserves to be. Had the cassette when I was a teen and 30 years later remembered how much I loved this album. Long live D. Boon! Long live the Minutemen!
