It's happening today

Now that all the pick up fails are dealt with, on the last day of 7 weeks on the road I'll feature of the Zürich haul the purchase that is 2nd only to the sealed Devo LP.

Slapshot - back on the map - Taang! 12 - 1986

Yellow labels denote the third press. According to discogs it came without any inserts. Unfortunately the Taang! discography does not give any useful info on this album at all like with most of the other releases. Someone needs to tackle that project. Give the nerds what they want.

Despite what it says on discogs my copy has a Taang! A4 Catalogue. From the records advertised on here I would say this was probably repressed in 1990.

This version was the last one missing for this 12". So here is the whole family. Not really a hard job to accomplish yet I'm happy to cross that one off the list.

This is the lyricsheet that came with my blue label first pressing. The second press white label version should have that too according to discogs but my copy doesn't have any inserts at all.

And here we have the one-sided A4 Taang! Catalogue that was included with the first pressing. Too bad I couldn't find any pictures of the one that came with the second press. Maybe that's because discogs is right and there really were no inserts. Would be interesting though to see where the label was at when that one dropped.

Both inserts from the 1st press. Notice the 'slight' yellowing of the mailorder sheet.

Ageing process. L 2 R should be 3rd 2nd 1st press but is indeed 2nd 3rd 1st press

I know. I really need to do something about the quality of the pictures I take. This was a rush job though done in what little time I had at home while the tour resided nearby over Christmas.

 

Tomorrow I'm finally going back home where I'll have to take care of a few things so it will most likely get a little more quiet on here again. After that next up on .LIC. will be the rest of this haul plus everything I got in the mail while being away. And more updates to my Unbroken discography.
