It really is a beaut. It was one of those discs I'd grabbed simply because I liked the cover, and it was probably sitting beside a Gang of Four record, or something with Jah Wobble on it at the shop. The fact that I'd never been able find out any real information about other releases by these guys, and it's sort of "timelessly weird" sonic quality, really adds to the joy of listening to it. One of the few LPs in my collection I can honestly call a "rare gem". I've no idea what it's worth - I'll never sell it. From my cold dead hands! :) I’ve had this record on vinyl since I bought it used, probably late ’80s or possibly as late as ’90 or ’91. It really is a beaut.

This particular collection was most likely the exception to the rule. Most punk collectors; those who had snatched up evey single as they came out, usually didn't give a shit about condition...at least until 20 years later when they wanted to sell them. Poison Idea's "Record Collectors Are Assholes" sums up the original feelings of the majority of folks who have large punk collections. Thanks for the upload.
