Was the SST catasert show here included with any other SST releases - I found one in a Flux of Pink Indians LP but have a sneaking suspicion that it didn't come with that album - I have never owned this Minutemen album. -
All picture of this release on vinyl show the labels with brown ink for the words and picture. However I have a repress with black ink used. Anyone else?

So, if the basic tracks were recorded on July 3, 1982 and the guitar and vocal overdubs were done in August 1982, how the fuck was the album released in February of that same year? :)
