This record sounds so good. I don't have much more to say outside of what folks below me have said. If you like this album, you need the OG. -
I think it is the loudest record in my collection. But at the same time it is one of the most dynamic and clean sounding ones. It is crazy what is possible in the studio, mastering and pressing plant.

R.I.P. Geordie Walker. One of the best guitarist, in one of the best band in the world. Sadly missed.
-
Stunning, historic release. Punk that got played at the dance clubs. It never loses its appeal. -
Jeez, i forget what a dynamite album this is. First heard round 87 and dug it. but was a quasi hippie stoner at the time and just ed off as another good album. It got even better over the years, but listening to wardance right now cranked up on a good headphone rig, and i allmost want to get up and trash my my own place through its sheer power and exurburance... and im not even angry lol .

Unique, historical, perfect pressing... A must. This version, you must have it. Mine is in excellent condition and I play it on vintage amp and monitoring. Old-school. I do mastering for my bands. Killing Joke is a great bandwidth a perfect release. Don't hesitate to buy it if you have this opportunity. The sound is so dynamic, punchy and pure! -
Super pressing - full and dynamic, capturing the mighty power of early Joke. Highly recommended. -
Music of alienation. Primitivism, get away from the decaying cities.
KJ should have promoted permaculture, but that wouldn’t have sold as many records. -
