    I know this isn't a true "first press" since it's the US version, but I was still very underwhelmed by the sound quality on this release. It's more tinny than expected. Maybe I'm just used to the remastered sound of this album but a lot of the tracks just sound a lot harsher and treble-heavy than I'm used to. I assume this is authentic to the recording though. Does the UK version sound significantly better is the remastered vinyl the way to go?

      My copy is missing the single, if anyone wants to match their single w/ my LP, please me.

        The 1st album is the best! PUNK '77! I can't get into anything else after that!
