The Birthday Party – Junkyard

Hype sticker states "post-punk revival of the early 1980s" Post-punk may have been in it's waning years at this point but this album was part of the INITIAL movement

How is this different from this pressing? It looks like even the label photos themselves are the same. https://discogs.descargarjuegos.org/release/14185577-The-Birthday-Party-Junkyard

Sounds really great. No clicks, no pops, not warped. Some more words for Discogs

Not much of a swirl on my copy LOL looks more like a solid orange to me. Sounds pretty good compared to an original, too... Original 4AD maybe a little crisper a little more top end but this definitely has more bottom... I don't think you can go wrong with either one plus this is just an absolute masterpiece of a record... Along with "generic flipper" this was guaranteed to clear out the room at teenage parties 😈

Mine came without the lyric insert. I ed Drastic Plastic but they won't ship outside the US :c

On my copy, side A sounds great, on the other one you can hear quite loud cracks. Vinyl is pretty.

Nothing negative to say. Vinyl is gorgeous looking, sounds great. Flat, clean, dynamic. Great album at a great price (for now anyways). Pick it up if you don't have a copy yet! Can't go wrong.

This would likely be about 1985 - it has the same style of labels as the original pressing if It‘a Still Living.

Anyone know if the thick plastic sleeve it comes in is PVC?

My copy is #0768. Good cut by Kevin Gray (though it sounds almost exactly like the CD), unfortunately Side B has quite a bunch of strong pops that can't be cleaned off. Disappointing since Side A was absolutely dead quiet.
