Notes
Second and correct pressing with improved sound-quality on side B:
• Re1 added to side B matrix number (RR1177B-Re1).
• Labels printed on warm/orangish red paper.
• Small 0.75" pressing ring with beveled contours at 1 7/8" and 2 1/8" (41 and 53mm). (Compare the mostly-withdrawn first pressing.)
Runouts are etched except for the Sonic Arts ⊏◯⊐ logo which is stamped.
Fold-over sleeve with the disk in an inside pocket.
Some copies have a large "Duck Stab!" sticker on the front sleeve. (The sticker gets its own Ralph catalog number, "...STK/A".) However, the official title of the release is "Duck Stab", without the exclamation mark, as it can be seen on top back sleeve and on both labels of the disc.
There are two variations of this second pressing: with matte labels (2,500 copies) or with glossy red labels (25,000 copies). Both these variations can be treated as "the same". Also sold as a combo pack with poster and T-shirt (750 copies).

I have a Duck Stab promotional poster. I got it in '78 or '79 from a local record shop. It was on the wall, I asked for it and they gave it to me. It has survived around 15 house moves and the same number of bedroom walls.

One of the greatest records ever made in the entire history of recorded music, in my opinion. The Residents crowning achievement.
