ESSENTIAL

The pressing is dead quiet between tracks, which is rare for a Chicago punk 12-inch. Sleeve art is minimal but the vinyl weight feels solid, and it spins clean at 33 RPM. Exactly what I needed to round out the collection.

The B-side track really captures that raw Chicago punk energy I was hoping for. Pressing quality is solid, no surface noise on my first spin.

Snagged this on a whim and the mastering is way punchier than I expected for a modern Chicago punk reissue. The 12 inch gives the low end room to breathe, and side A alone has already been spun four times.
