I think that the ‘Drop the Bomb’ 7″ was the 2nd test press I ever got (the first being the Dropdead discography 10″) and I was so psyched to have a test press of anything even slightly relating to Slapshot that I practicly peed myself. Little did I know that a few years later I would be rolling in Back on the Map test… ok, maybe not ‘rolling’ but I do have 3 of them!
Anyway, fifthwardboy has the blue vinyl version of what I think is the 2nd pressing pressing of this 7″. The grey vinyl version comes in this same sleeve, but has the ‘Steve Priest Fan Club’ lables where as this one comes in a ‘Steve Priest’ sleeve, but has Vulture Rock Records lables. Theres a black pressing with the Vulture Rock labels that comes in a full color sleeve with a differetn illustration.
So anyway, the grey vinyl is limited to 400 and this blue vinyl is limited to only 200 so if you’re sad that you’re not going to TNT Fest this weekend to see Patriot, Combat 84, The Cockney Rejects, Red Alert & Stormwatch then shoot an offer on this record, stay home & cry in your beer… OI!
