First press has “Carbona not Glue” which was later replaced, first by “Babysitter”, then by “Sheena is a punk rocker”. The official explanation was that the song violated copyrights by using the trademarked “Carbona”, but the inofficial reason might be because of the “drug advocating” lyrics. + printed inner sleeve with lyrics. Irish version has “Babysitter”. UK license pressing on Mau Mau has original track “Carbona not Glue”; not stated on cover (only on the labels). UK CD reissue has third track listing with “Sheena”. Norwegian version has Carbona. Spanish version has Carbona AND Sheena, but Now I wanna be a good boy is missing. Portugese version with Sheena. Yugoslavian version has printed inner sleeve. German bootleg/counterfeit of the Philips version with Carbona; cover pic looks kind of blurry. Mexican press with Spanish song titles. Australian late 80s reissue on AIM, I've seen copies on red, pink and purple marble vinyl for sale, don't know if those are all different. AIM CD version in DigiPak. New Zealand edition with Carbona and white back sleeve. 2001 Sire/Rhino reissue on 180g vinyl and CD; CD version has original songs with Carbona, adds Babysitter at the end and also has 16 live songs recorded at the Roxy, Hollywood/LA, 8/12/76). 2005 US reissue on red vinyl with Carbona.

Another 14 blasts of their classic punk sound, now a bit less basic and noisy, and the production has some more depth, too. Apart from that it's similar in style to their first, and of equal importance. Tons of hits, and a few slower songs, too. Catchy, melodic & rough punk with some surf & pop elements. Another must-have. [10]  

Ein weiterer Klassiker aus der Hit-Schmiede; das Original für mindestens 80% aller nachfolgenden Punkbands. Für US-Punk und -Hardcore waren sie wohl noch wichtiger als Sex Pistols, Damned & Clash zusammen. Zurück zur Musik: Hit an Hit, kennt man ja sowieso alle rückwärts (oder?). Melodischer, rauher und dichter Punkrock mit einigen Surf- und Pop-Elementen. Genial.
