Considering not getting this first release but the remastered after this after reading this (from Wilipedia)
Spot revealed during his interview for the Minutemen documentary We Jam Econo (preserved in the DVD's deleted scenes section) that the first pressing of the record was done with what he considered to be an inferior mastering job and set of stampers; he took possession of the stampers in order to prevent further pressings from being done, forcing a remaster that was used on all vinyl pressings since then. The remastered vocals sound significantly different from the original pressing in which the voices are deeper and slightly muffled. -

I'd say the inside of the sleeve is cardboard brown, but not colored, which could be misleading! I was at least astonished when reading this and checked my copy!! -
Translucent vinyl on this release, like most of 80s SST pressings

An absolute masterpiece. Perfect. Genius. Blah blah blah blah blah -
Everything on this version matches what I have except my inner cover is white not cardboard. I purchased mine new in June of 1986.
-
The labels partly obscuring the run out etching also obscure the runout groove itself and when the LP is done playing on manual turntables the stylus jumps onto the label (both sides) which sucks -
It’d be nice to know when this was released. I bought mine new in late ‘84. Minutemen are one of the best punk bands ever and this record is great!
-
I am pretty sure, mine is this one but has price 6.98 on spine. Is there a version on discogs with price, that I missed?

Watt says 300 were pressed, so how do so many more say they have this? I guess maybe an identical repress happened?
