    So this is the purple translucent non-club Edition with a barcode right??? Calbi baseball... RCA1... my God am I really doing this LOL? I don't really have any other pressings to compare since I bought this new and never needed another one but yeah still sounds pretty damn good. Straight up though, I'm not a particularly nostalgic person, but this one, and Murmur take me straight back to being 19.... I once went to a show where Pylon opened for REM, and I LEFT after Pylon... back in the day it took me a minute to get into these guys... and then a couple years later I saw the Minutemen open for them about a month before Boon ed.... oh yeah and I bought an REM Howard Finster bandana at that show...
