I find entering new releases rather time consuming so I will just say here that I have a Japanese pressing from 1980.

My copy doesn't have anything unique on the matrix runout -- just "V2132-A* 7078-700" on the A-side and "V2132-B* 7079-700" on the other. The label does say it was made in New Zealand, so is it possible that I have a NZ pressing that's not listed on here?

Yahm
Hi, I have the same as you, NZ pressing. thx

Abuseyourdna
speaking of classic : early punk greatest glory *****

Kesalard
Backing vocals on Jah War are by members of Misty in Roots - not surprisingly given that the song talks about the police beating of one of the Misty in Roots collective, Clarence Baker. "Pocky" is undoubtedly Walford "Poco" (or Poko) Tyson. Bertie is Delbert Ngoni McKay, but Rocky I don't know

Marelyne
My copy has a sticker on the front cover saying "Ruts 3.99 Dont pay more" in the red triangle

Djang
My copy has a marketed by rtc p.o.box 3829 auckland which is in new zealand so im guessing its a new zealand pressing.
