+ lyric sheet. Promo copies with golden promo stamp on cover. At least one test pressing has a hand-written sleeve. Reissue on Enigma Records has high gloss sleeve (opposed to the dull paper of the Moment original) and an additional Enigma logo on the back sleeve. Same lyric sheet (a little larger), Enigma label # on labels. Same pressing tools used. German double LP reissue has this and the No Matter LP packaged together in a gatefold sleeve edition including a poster with lyrics and liner notes.

Arguably their best release; even more sophisticated than the 12”. This showcases all their influences in a way that just couldn’t be improved; funk, pop, fun punk and skate core are all rolled into one giant party package. Great fast hardcore, beautiful melancholic songs, some more angular tracks and of course their trademark punk funk sound. Essential. [10]

Für mich der Höhepunkt der ohnehin einzigartigen Big-Boys-Geschichte, alle Einflüsse, die die Big Boys hatten - Funk, Pop, Funpunk, Skatepunk etc. - werden hier noch einmal auf den Punkt gebracht. Fast nur Hits; tolle HC-Fetzer, schöne, ruhige Songs, schräge, nervige Tracks und natürlich auch die legendären BB-Funk/Punk-Nummern. Pflicht.

Tracks: we got your money / lesson / funck off / i’m sorry / we’re not in it to lose / sound on sound / fight back // brickwall / jump the fence / assault / manipulation / same old blues / gator fuckin / white nigger / baby let’s play god
