    What is the difference (if there's one...) with that other 1988 press?

      So what is the difference with that other 1988 press? (it's one hour i'm trying to find out ...)

        i got this reissue in the late 80s, regardless of how great this debut was the album sleeve is probably one of the best early 80s hardcore punk lps to come out at that time, it is very self explanatory ..............
