I love this e.p. and have so for three decades. I have heard these tracks pumped full throttle in NYC clubs like Danceteria, the Peppermint Lounge and the Garage - the title track paired with Deep Sleep where the favs back in the day. I have an original US press which is loud and dynamic and bass forward albeit now well played and somewhat worn. I was happy to get this Rocktober reissue, unfortunately it lacks the presence of the 1st edition and is somewhat recessed. It’s not bad-per se just not as punchy and bass forward as I would like, still glad to have a clean copy.
