Omaha, Nebraska.  August 26th, 1989

First things first. I am not a record dealer! I am just a kid who loves and lives HardCore. And due to unbelievable circumstances I am selling these. I will answer any questions regarding record grading as best as I can. As I said "I am not a record Dealer". But, I did check out "Goldmine Record Grading System" and near as I can tell the grade would be VG+.

So ask questions before bidding.

This is what I do know... This is an "ORIGINAL" 2nd pressing. The labels are beige with red ink. The second pressing was of 500 copies. If I am wrong, please someone correct me & I will post it. The vinyl has a slight scuff on the "Pay To Cum" side that DOES NOT affect play.

THERE ARE NO CRACKS, SKIPS or POPPING SOUNDS WHEN PLAYED!

*The picture sleeve is a xerox copy on (heavy paper) of the original.

IT COULD BE A PROMOTIONAL COPY.

 The sleeve is folded but not glued. This is the way I got it in 1988. It has a slight Doc Marten boot print on the front of the picture sleeve. Because my Homeboy stepped on it in 1994. One side of the dust cover has the "Prank Records" stamp (in red). The otherside is autographed by H.R. & Dr. Know. There are a couple water marks on the picture sleeve, and very minimal ring wear. No rips in the sleeve & minimal creasing. On side 1 0f the record is engraved; MOD-001-A (and the word) MASTERDISK. On side 2 is engraved; MOD-001-B (and the word) MASTERDISK. The record has always been played carefully and never abused.

This is what "Flex" had to say about the record;

First batch (200?) issued with picture sleeve. This pressing has white labels with brown ink, second pressing (no sleeve) has beige labels with red ink. An acetate with a rejected mix was offered on Ebay in early 2001. The Japanese repro (no sleeve) has excellent sound and pressing quality and looks just like the original 2nd press, just the label color is slightly different and the original has 'Masterdisk' stamped in the inner grooves, the repro doesn't. US repro has a pic sleeve and comes on gold or white vinyl. I heard about a dutch repro that has a cover and looks like the Japanese one, maybe the same record with a sleeve added. I've seen a version on Ebay on "Limp Brain records" with a heavy paper pic sleeve with a pic/lyric insert stapled inside, 500 made. This also has a bonus track ("Don't bother me"). Probably another bootleg.

First 7", great driving HC on side A, good punk rock with a reggae feeling on the flip. Classic. [9].

The Story; 

I got this record in a trade when I lived in NYC in 1988. I got the autograph from Dr. Know at one of the dozen or more shows I saw on the "Quickness 89' tour". I had to wait many years later to get the H.R. autograph. I was living in L.A. at the time, when a friend of mine who works for "the Deftones" told me that H.R. was recording a song with them. I asked if I could come along, and I brought my prized possesion, met H.R., had my record signed and watched and amazing recording session. His "signature" pretty much represents his demeanor. He is really "out there". I have a ton of other stuff on the way so add me to your favorites, and stay tuned.

I'm including in the t-shirt and the ticket stub as a sign of good will.
