My copy matches with all the criteria except for the fact that it has the 'Someboby' misprint on the back of the sleeve; is this a variant or just a simple misprint? -
Absolutely love this album and have now compared two vinyl pressings (2018 orange release, and an original 1985 first edition) and the original CD release. Gotta say, the CD is much clearer and punchier and does not suffer from the bloated trebles of both of the vinyl pressings. The CD is a clear winner in this case (and I usually tend to appreciate vinyl a bit more). I believe the quality of the MCA vinyl itself is at least partially to blame for this. While I was hoping for a complete remaster of the Oingo Boingo catalog, I read their masters were one of the ones burned up in the fires from a few years back. So unless there’s some other masters floating around out there, I’m guessing this is all we are going to get.
