    Damn. This is a fantastic pressing that usurps every reissue I’ve heard over the years! Raw guitars attack up front without overpowering the vocals, drums and bass well balanced. And for all of this sonic riot, there’s a nice midrange that gives space to the music. After 40+ years I feel like I’ve finally heard this album for the first time. Wow!

      Vivid memories of seeing that cover for the first time. Putting the needle down on the run in. "He's in love with Rock and Roll, woh". Who the f*ck is Janie Jones? Who cares, this is obviously created by people like me. Who needs Remote Control? Not me. White Riot - I'd seen the agitators outside the Marquee trying to get us to throw bricks at the bill. Then the killer blow, yeah coz we're all bored with the USA, we want to star in own lives not f*cking Starsky and Hutch. Hate & War - it's like CND with safety pins. Then Deny - we all know someone like that. London's Burning with boredom, so's my home town too. Anyone who saw the Careers officer at school can relate to the lack of opportunity. Cheat's a bit dark - never thought about breaking and entering but these guys are hard. Protex Blue - we all had a johnny in our pockets that only ever got blown up and floated over the dance floor. Police & Thieves - 2 chords, lead guitar, reggae style - multicultural or what? 48 hours to fornicate is how I heard it. Garageland - that's where our band was and stayed. Put it on again.

        I can say from owning a UK first press, just looking at the artwork and colors on the back it’s incredible

            FINALLY got my hands on a clean A2/B2, with the red sticker and the ep, and can tell you it is a MONSTER! The sound is MASSIVE - literally no distortion and vocals so big and alive it’s shocking. The drums EXPLODE, the guitars HOOWWWL and it is a mind-blowing experience. The A3/B5 I have is no slouch, it too has demo disc sound, but the A2/B2 is on another level. God, Save up the Queen’s ransom to buy one - if you can find one - they don’t come along often.

                  Mine sounds great, but has a bit of distortion on it. I think it was recorded too hot.
