albert 9th Mar 2021		According to discogs the first pressing of the LP was cut with the master tape running too fast and so it needed to be re-cut. Identifiers (Utopia/Lyntone) are: A-Side "LYN 8664-1UT BRED-10-A", "MAX", "IS LIFE AS BORING AS YOU ARE?? Ʊ" B-Side "LYN 8665-1UT BRED-10-B", "MAX", "DO YOU DESERVE TO LIVE?? Ʊ" Well I just had to investigate since it happens that I have a copy of the first pressing, and also a copy of another early pressing. I recorded both sides of both pressings and used Audacity to analyse the results. And it is true! the first pressing runs about 1% faster and sounds brighter because of it, and also it is cut slightly louder than the re-cut version. I have to say that I prefer the faster first pressing, but since I have owned it for over 40 years then I suppose I am biased to like it, being that the tunes are pretty much lodged in my brain. The other LP version that I have was bought secondhand a couple of years ago as part of a joblot and I did recognised that it sounded different but couldn't quite figure why at the time. Regardless of the differences in the speed/pitch, both vinyl versions sound a lot better than the 25th anniversary CD that I bought - the CD version sounds like there is a blanket draped over the speakers! And I only bought the CD because it included a DVD of interviews and rare early live footage.



Bgray1 29th May 2018		Added the two sided poster.



Bodston SUBS 23rd Jul 2017		I used to have a copy with the heads intact... lost at a party if I remember correctly.



albert 23rd Jul 2017		The back cover of Dead Kennedys debut LP proved problematic when the 'other' band discovered that their picture had been used without permission. The original shows the 'other' band complete with their heads but with the DK logo on the drum, the back colour has yellow dots. A compromise was the decapitation as per Bodston's scan but I have seen back covers using a completely different image.
