Edited one year agoEntry title is incorrect. This is not a "repress" of the original/1979 UK issue. That release has matrices A1 and B1. This 1980 pressing has new matrices A-2 and B-2, meaning new lacquers were cut, thus this release is actually a reissue/remaster.
A SH forum Paul Rymer testifies that the newer cut betters the original UK pressing. -
Edited 12 years agoThis is such a joyful album to listen to. It makes me smile with every play. If you find a copy, treasure it.
