Notes

Band are listed as "Murphy's Law '86"
Recorded 86 July at Sound Ideas and Evergreen Studios N.Y.C.
Mixed at 39th St. Studios and Quadrasonic.

Reportedly a second issue after the initial green vinyl pressing, this black vinyl version is much more scarce.
Precise pressing info is not available but markers for both Hauppauge and Rainbow are in runouts. There is also an etched "antenna" in the runout-- a capital I with two concentric arcs above it.

    This debut album by Murphy's Law was indeed pressed in large quantities on green vinyl, with a decal on the shrinkwrap indicating Green Vinyl Edition. There are also copies which do not have the Green Vinyl decal on the shrinkwrap, but I've just opened one which was sealed without the decal and it too was on the common green vinyl. I don't believe that there's a way to tell from a sealed copy if it is or isn't on black vinyl. It is definitely far rarer on black wax. A classic and unique NYHC record with loads of humor, this is still worth owning no matter what color the vinyl.
