Fantastic sound on this pressing. Very stellar and clear. Nothing compressed. Made with attention for detail.

This version is pressed exactly the same, from the inner die mount stamp & label grooves to the sound- its from the same master, just minus the run out info & definitely an early version not a later repress: https://discogs.librosgratis.biz/Dinosaur-L-Go-Bang-5-Clean-On-Your-Bean-1/release/1590591

Just so you know, this is a very early 80's official pressing, probably 3rd press, & pressed straight from the masters. Came in a thick Sleeping Bag picture sleeve with illustrations of a forest, a missing persons sleeping bag & radio, & a U.F.O hovering above... I have a first edition Frankford & Wayne stamped issue too & both sound identical... You can also tell by the very few copies for sale & the current seller locations (USA//Japan) that these are not recent, mass produced reissues...

Lola Blank is the one that sings on Go Bang.. See Wild Combination: A Portrait Of Arthur Russel documentary.

Just been released as a reissue I believe ? Be careful its not the repress you purchase.

There is a single sided 12" with just "Go Bang" & Checkered etched on the flip side, however it is an edit of the FK remix and not the full length version. This I know because I won one on ebay, but returned it due to fact that it was not the full 12" mix.

Larry Levan, Francois Kevorkian and David Mancuso totally rocked "Go Bang" and turned them into massive staples of their respective dancefloors. To this day, "Go Bang" is the quintessential Loft anthem: "I Wanna see...all my friends at once..." Both of these are Re-Mixed by Francois Kevorkian from the original album session tracks, on important but subtle distinction.
The LP versions are quite different and more "out".
Francois did an amazing job of making these more dancefloor friendly, while staying true to Arthur Russell's prophetic and forward-thinking vision of twisted, druggy euphoria-with-a-beat.
