Edition Notes:
This copy appears to be an original 1982 first pressing on Ruby/Slash Records, not one of the later represses or bootlegs. Specific indicators:
• Catalog number JRR 804 and matching matrix numbers etched in the runout (no additional letters or numbers indicating repressings).
• Includes original printed inner sleeve with collage of photos on one side and lyrics on the reverse.
• The rounded corner damage and visible aging are consistent with vintage originals, not reissues.
Additional etchings:
• “L-8264” and “L-8264-X” (on both sides): These are Rainbo Records mastering numbers, verifying this was pressed by Rainbo in California.
• “P.B.”: Initials of Phil Brown, a well-known mastering engineer associated with many Slash/Ruby releases.
These markings match the identifiers of a true first U.S. pressing—an important distinction, as later represses have altered matrix data (e.g., added “-RE” or alternative mastering numbers).
