    I have the Rhino 2016 remaster and it’s…not good, especially in comparison. This is raw and powerful that reminds me of the Clash UK originals. Tommy’s bass is prominent here, just so well balanced overall. Get this!

      Does anyone have just the Twin Tone company inner sleeve? Looking to buy one

        If you see the OG uk Zippo pressing, don’t hesitate! Bound to be less expensive and it’s a Porky Prime Cut

          The Rhino reissue can’t match the OG pressing of this, easily.

          The reissue is compressed to hell and back, while this pressing has much more clarity and detail that makes it’s a lot more crankable without sounding fatiguing to the ears.

          If you love this album, don’t cheap out and get an OG press.

            I hop this one will be remastered and remixed as Tim :-)

              Probably their best lp. A great band at its peak. They’ll continue to be great for years but don’t think they ever topped this one.

                Agree with those below. This pressing blows the pants off of the reissues I have in the boxset.

                  This original press is where it’s at for this classic lp. Don’t except any cheap knockoffs or SO CALLED audiophile remasters that are mostly veiled, compressed, include a digital step and have poor quality control. Get the OG

                    So much more open sounding than the recent reissues. Everything is clear and full sounding. Tommy's bass sounds flat in the newer releases, tight and fat on this original pressing.

                      Sounds like 40 times better than a reissue, not nearly as compressed/muffled
