I love this record! It’s got more of an atmospheric quality than the others. And the Roger Dean totally matches the mood!
|
|
You know there’s a separate listing for the repress. Sellers need to move their new sealed items to that listing. And as far as the 2008 goes, mine sounds fantastic, no surface noise, unlike the represses being reviewed here. So try to find an original 2008!

Andy Pansy: Honestly going on about terms some music journalists conjured up? New Wave, Synth-Pop, New Romantic? I doubt ABC considered themselves any of those.
|
|
Street Life sounds a lot like Merry-go-Round from the previous album, also by Sample.

Exactly, cheap gimmick. How many “exclusive” “limited” colored versions will be pressed into the future? Better to stick with early press or audiophile re-issues.
|
|
Last Call. What a tour de force. Truly harrowing and cathartic.

This one comes with a cool booklet of lyrics and tabs to strum and sing along around the campfire!
|
|
This is definitely a 21st century OC classic! Too bad Burger Records got canceled:(
|
|
Mine sounds quiet in a good way and the misty white color matches the tone of the record

This is THE worst sounding record I own. Muffled distant sounds like guitars? Drums? Are those words I hear?
|
|
This seems like a band that would be big in Japan. But never released there? A true mystery of capitalism.
|
|
The thing about FEAR is unlike most punk bands they were ackchoowally good musicians!
|
|
It appears this is the first US release of this classic.
|
|
Not as bad as the org UK pack of Camel cigarettes cover! Really? Copy a pack of American cigarettes? This one goes better with the sci-fi, fantasy themes of the lyrics.

I love this record! Certainly better than Raindance or Snowgoose. Richard Sinclair adds a lot to the mix and the production is so much better than those other two. Even Down on the Farm is a fun catchy tune.
|
|
Sounds amazing, and with huge poster! Do any of the others have it?
|
|
|
Down on the Farm is a very entertaining song, great lyrics. Just get on your boots and join us!

The unipak has Manufactured in Canada, not all block letters, bottom of label.

Deidre ODonahue used to play this on her SNAP show in the 80s KCRW, Los Angeles area.

All the deaf school records are important urban folk documents.

Prog to punk is not saying much in terms of developed taste. And if anything is boring it’s yet another “prog to punk” conversion story.
|

Mastered and pressed by Columbia. Listen to most Columbia from this era—perfect in every way. Hard to believe the UK is a better pressing, maybe more “collectable”.
|
|
This version appears to have the longest version of I Ran, beating the UK by 11 seconds an the US by 1:08.
|
|
Wrong blue color oops. The Newbury looks way better. People buys these for the looks, right?
|
|
Because only 70 have it vs 2380 of the “true” first based on Discogs stats

Image of label says made in USA. Isn’t this a UK/Europe? Also, be helpful to add companies to info

You can delete comments, don’t you know? I do it all the time after posting stupid shit.
|
|
Why would Geffen use the Plain master? You would think they have the money for a good remaster?
|
|
Mines on shrink wrap so maybe there’s both types for this pressing or maybe not
|
|
Very good sounding pressing here! Side two is even better than side one! Flock of Seagulls for the win.
|
|
Damn, this has gotta be one of the best sounding vinyls I possess. Combo stellar mastering and pressing. Reddish see through vinyl in light.
|
|
Chances of finding a first press in the USA at your local record shop are slim to none. So by those standards it’s rare. Now with Discogs not so much.
|
|
I don’t see listings claiming the record is rare. That being said, you probably won’t find a first pressing at your local record shop, especially in the US. If not for Discogs it probably would be a rare find.

To r3: you do know these genre terms are made up by music journalists, right?
