    Cracking album that fully captured Chisels descent into a dysfunctional mess. They were all over it by this point but look how many great classic songs even came off this record !

      "2nd pressing does NOT include foldout poster.

      Differs from 1st pressings Cold Chisel - Twentieth Century with printed inner sleeve with lyrics that features all song titles in GOLD coloured typeface, as opposed to RED of 1st pressings."

      I'm not sure about this. My copy, purchased on the day of release, has the foldout poster, but gold lettering not red for the song titles on the inner sleeve.
