    anyone know about the quality of this pressing?? I usually like American vinyl but if its nothing special i'll probably just get a different press. Curious about the sequencing since its probably weird as hell.

      Surprised this album isn't worth more considering its iration by Henry Rollins as one of the greatest punk albums of all time and his quest to find the original painting that graced the cover as noted in this article and video. Outstanding record. https://www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/henry-rollins-the-ruts-the-crack-artwork/
