Actually variant 20 matrix/runout on side 1 is .....1117, not 1112
zemko85 Feb 23, 2024
I have a copy of this that has an identical sleeve, the same red sticker, exactly the same label, but the matrices only say 888 788-1A and 1B. The only release on Discogs has these matrices is a 1988 Australasia release, but that has different labels. If anyone has any semblance of an explanation I'd be grateful.

This sounds so good, rivals my OG pressing of AJFA in of sound quality, you can feel the intensity and power through the speakers, buy it if you can, you won't regret it.
Baufuchs Aug 1, 2023
Hi,

I hope someone can help me. I have this Version with the exact Matrix Numbers but my Version have the openning on the right side and not on the top. Please tell what is this for a version.

Thanks alot and best wishes

A great E.P. to test a Hi-Fi system when trying out new separates in a store. Superb pressing. Deep bass drums. Bass guitar actually sounds like a bass. Guitars clear and separate. Listen carefully on 'Crash Course' and you will hear the pick 'clicking' on the bass!
