Notes
Issued with large [11"x17" ledger-sized] folded blue & white lyric insert.
Sides are not indicated on the labels. On the dead wax, side A is called "black", side B "blue", which are the respective colors of the labels. Cat# is printed on the spine and etched in the runout grooves.
Around 10,000 copies were pressed in 2 batches of 5,000 each
Sleeves have minor manufacturing/printing differences:
• One version [as shown in Images] is trimmed so that the song-title "FROM THE GUT" is approximately 7.5mm from the top trimmed edge (>5/16") and the blue top spine shows on the back.
The front artwork is positioned so that the spine is all white, but that causes a thin white strip to show to the left of the Rorschachs on the front.
The semi-gloss printed coating has not discolored, and the blue has a slight greenish cast.
• One version is trimmed so that the song-title "FROM THE GUT" is approximately 11.5mm from the top edge (>7/16") and the back is trimmed flush with the top spine.
The front sleeve is positioned so that there is no white showing on the front along the Rorschachs, but the top third of the spine has a stripe.
The semi-gloss printed coating has discolored/yellowed, darkening the blue and the unprinted background. (See Images.)

One of the best hardcore records to me ever. Sortof a hybrid of what was to come of Metal Circus and aspects of Land Speed Record. This record is a perfect distribution of hardcore and the beginnings of Hüskers melodic songwriting. Creative, independent hardcore and Everything falls apart is one of the best songs they ever made. -
A benefit of being old -- I recall picking this up around 1985-86 as a teenager for under $10. The remaster in the Savage Young Du set is solid, but not a noticeable improvement.

I have a unique copy of this — it came with an entire typed and photocopied press kit with interviews, info about the band and photos, etc. Never located another copy that came with anything similar. According to Popsike, I paid $58 for it in 2011. -
Edited 3 years agoWill they ever officially reissue this amazing 12"? It's been nearly 40 years!! -
Despite the title track, there are a lot of filler on the album. Why would anyone repeat BRICKLAYER when you've got the best version released already? Their weakest studio album.
