    This one is new - and it is pressed at Pallas in Germany - I really enjoy the records I get from there!!!

    Yeah, the reissue is new... but I got an original for $35 CAD that wasn't sealed, but as good as new... Plus, the original is one of my best-sounding LPs. No one even knows how good the sound is on the reissue.
    fair enough - but every record I have that has come from Pallas is top-notch. I would like blue, as I am a sucker for colored vinyl. But can't seem to find out where it was pressed.
    I'm not sure, but I can assure you that the sound quality is as good as it gets on the blue.
    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

    They hold these liquidation sales on ebay often, for various titles. They usually have some of the cheapest prices on discogs for jut about any sealed vinyl

    Really? Mine was packed solid. Very slight wobble but not nearly enough to return it.

    Picked mine up at a local record store last week for $42. Worth every penny in my opinion, and with my recent experiences of pre-ordering/ordering vinyl online, I didn't want the same hassle of damaged product, shipping that takes forever, etc. just to save a few bucks.

    *On a side note, I've had the opportunity to meet Watt on a few occasions, and he's been a musical influence of mine for a long time. We covered some fIREHOSE stuff in my high school band in the early 90's. He's also been kind enough to feature my band's music on his "Watt from Pedro" show on several episodes. "Deflation Situation" is actually a song I wrote back in the early 2000's about driving from Vegas to San Diego to see a Watt show, and we got a flat tire on the way down, making it to the gig about 2 minutes before Watt started! It's very Watt- influenced, and we re-recorded it in my current band Water Landing last year.

    Check out the Watt from Pedro show if you haven't before - here's links to the episodes where he played our tunes, and if you like our stuff, give "Water Landing" a like on Facebook. :)

    I was just talking about this with a friend of mine on our way to Chicago for the Wrigley shows.

    I think they should through this one in rotation a bit.
