Additional Notes

The original Posh Boy LP was notorious for it's crappy sound quality - no bass being the biggest issue. A later Posh Boy pressing with red labels bears a cover sticker stating "PBS 1015 Re-Mixed, new vinyl, new labels, same old punk band PUNK CLASSIC"; given the "PBS 1015" this is presumably from around 1981 (and it should be noted that despite the sticker the back cover still bears the PBS-101 cat no.) The red vinyl version noted below has the same labels as the remixed version but no sticker, and so I do not know if this is a variation on the 1978 pressing or a variation of the remixed version. The Get Back reissue actually documents a completely different show from the same year, and is vastly superior in terms of sound quality, and is clearly the better release.
