      Have this copy; was bought in '97-'98 in Memphis, TN. Sounds pretty good and is pretty much how I know the album aside from the original cassette. Worth grabbing in my opinion.

        How does this pressing sound to you? Ten words needed.

            Bought this from a guy that said he bought it in around 1999 so the press is likley 97-99.

              I have a reissue of this album, from around 97, that is exactly as the original, including all the etchings etc on the vinyl and the address is as the original. It has no barcode on the cover though, and says Main Souce on the record cover spine, not Source! It was reissued on cd at the same time: this has the same barcode as the original vinyl on the rear cover, but has the later Wild Pitch address, no one seems to have these? I got them from Mr Bongo in London.
