Recorded on 9th May, 1998 at Arc Up Rehearsal Rooms, Mayfield.
test pressing; 35 copies at 45 rpm w/Heresy 'thanks' parody sleeve, and many tests at 33rpm-A REAL MESS!
Even some with 33rpm one side, and 45rpm the other.
regular press (33rpm); 75 red, 500 black vinyl.
additional notes; Came with a poster lyric insert. Some copies may have a
vinyl Arms Reach logo sticker. Some copies have written messages on white
inner dust sleeve from the night Luke and I were lifting weights in my
parents house to prepare for a Madball gig!
Supposed to be 100 on red vinyl, but the pressing plant ran out of labels:
hence the one red vinyl version with "b" side labels on both sides
........................................................FUCKING HOPELESS!
'THANKS, for nothing press'; 35 mis-pressings originally intended as gifts
for my friends, became the 'fuck you' to the pressing plant as they managed
to make the record sound like pure shit and cut/press it at 45 rpm instead
of 33rpm. Has a Heresy 'thanks' parody sleeve, with a crocodile replacing
the shark on the back sleeve (real Aussie mate). Also has 2 'thanks' stickers.
4x double 7" test pressings with one 7" having 45rpm one side, 33rpm the
other and the second 7" having the 45rpm side redone at 33rpm, with some
random band on the flip. Housed in a paper wrap around 'thanks' xerox sleeve.
