I also read in an interview with Poison Idea's Jerry A that this was by far the rarest press.
The record is the original 1978 press and the band made around 50 covers for a tour early 1979 since they had some records left without covers.

A guy from Portland told me that this is an extremely rare version, only handled at the gigs. The cover is not standard and probably made from the band directly.

On my copy the song "does it hurt" is playing outta tune, does anyone else has the same with this press? thanks

The record first pressing/second sleeve is the rare one. As fare as I know there were only 60. They were sold by the band directly. A friend of mine bought it for me on a gig in Hamburg. Better of dead is for me one of of the top ten punk rocksongs ever.
