    This pressing is remarkable for what it costs. I run under a high end LOMC on a picky system. It’s flat and dead quiet. Overall a great record, great recording, and just a fun album to play loud!

      I was so happy to pick up a near mint copy for $8. I've always loved DEVO since I was a kid, and this album is fun.

      Highlights are "Girl U Want", "Freedom of Choice", and "Whip It", of course.

      Pressing is great.

        Mine is a promotional copy from the LA Press release. It reads in the dead wax.

        The P after the K looks more like a line with a little curve at the top. Not the most convincing P.

              My copy has what looks like a stamped "CJ" alongside the two asterisks--could this be a pressing plant mark or an engineer's mark?
