    This is another example of the misleading rules concerning the country definition, as it is not consequenty executable anyway!
    All vinyls are Porky Prime Cut and sleeves are "Made in England" but the entries have a mix of US and GB! In my opinion, the light green label version was first, at least on the German "market" at the time, pressed by DAMONT in Hays, Middlesex! But even the silver label version which I originally expected to be US, but never saw in , was printed there!

      I've had 2 copies of this record, this US 1st press and the UK silver label press. Both have a skip in the same spot in "Hammering So Hard". Anyone else experience this?

        squirrel bait was a great band....listen to sun king, it's sounds so much of nirvana, even rhe vocals...in the 80s there were so much wonderful post punk/hardcore/ underground bands, many of them without a big audience.
        this is grungy guitar music, with great drumming.& guitars, ionate vocals and so much energy.

            A cassette version of this exists. A friend of mine in New York owns a copy. If anyone else has that release, please add it to the database :)
