A very bored looking John Lydon also appears on sleeve...my copy also has the 'Ruts - 3.99' sticker
-
I find entering new releases rather time consuming so I will just say here that I have a Japanese pressing from 1980.
-
My copy doesn't have anything unique on the matrix runout -- just "V2132-A* 7078-700" on the A-side and "V2132-B* 7079-700" on the other. The label does say it was made in New Zealand, so is it possible that I have a NZ pressing that's not listed on here?

Backing vocals on Jah War are by of Misty in Roots - not surprisingly given that the song talks about the police beating of one of the Misty in Roots collective, Clarence Baker. "Pocky" is undoubtedly Walford "Poco" (or Poko) Tyson. Bertie is Delbert Ngoni McKay, but Rocky I don't know -
My copy has a sticker on the front cover saying "Ruts 3.99 Dont pay more" in the red triangle
-
My copy has a marketed by rtc p.o.box 3829 auckland which is in new zealand so im guessing its a new zealand pressing. -
