Notes
This is the second of three pressings.
The first pressing is white bordered. There is a myth that there are 200 copies. The white border was either a misprint or the record company didn't like the look of it and changed it to black. It is unknown how many copies got into the shops.
The second pressing (this one) and third pressing are black bordered.
The third pressing is distributed by Bertus Holland.
Includes one-sided black & white lyric sheet insert.
Recorded at Stone Sound (Roosendaal-Holland) September 1982.

Just gave this a thorough listen and it sounds phenomenal. Amazing detail and clarity down to every high-hat tap and cymbal crash!
-
What is the difference between the 2nd and the 3rd original Rave-On edition? How can I recognize them? -
I have a lone cover/ no disc. If anyone has a disc for sale or is looking for the cover let me know!
-
Classic, like all who spun this and held the cover..I felt this record had power and when I saw them open for Motorhead in DC I was set for life. I lived in fear family would catch the cover and I thought something might happen in my room while I slept, ha?
-
HA HA, the classic dutch pressing of the nuns have no fun 12 inch from holland, i found this in an import bin in 1983 and i do indeed ing NOT LETTING MY MOM OR SISTER SEE THE SLEEVE, anyway this sleeve was unique to holland only and it was released in 1982 and it was also one of the first releases by fate, i still have my copy from 32 years ago and i still like to hear it from time to time, a record or single like this in 1982/83 was considered taboo like venom, witchfynde or witchfinder general records where at this time...........
