Initial pressing batch of 5000 with purple colored labels.These copies suffer from an audible distortion in the vinyl during the first track on side B, Ship's A' Going Down. This is due to a mastering / plating flaw (bad stamper). Many copies were distributed and sold before the remaining copies of the pressing batch were recalled, and apparently then destroyed (landfill).

Reprocessed by Ralph Records.
