    My copy has both sides with Side 2 labels. The record itself is fine though. Pretty happy with this reissue.

      A fantastic, short and sharp record that finds the Fall in peak form. The vinyl reissue by Superior Viaduct sounds very good. I can only compare to the 1992 cd release of this record combined with "A Part of America Therein," and that cd sounds thin and sub par in comparison. Do you like the Fall? Buy this record. Do you not like the Fall? Buy this record and give it away.

        The mix sounds slightly different compared to the original UK 10 inch, especially track A1? Sounds like the stereo spectrum has been adjusted in an interesting way. This EP is still the yardstick for all their other work. Start here or with Grotesque. Unfortunately my copy has some crackle.

          Great quality pressing. Have heard good things about Superior Viaduct in general.
