    "Misprint: Paul Stubblebine is misspelled Stubblevine on back sleeve." Really? Whereabouts on the back sleeve? I see nothing

      So, I've got one with this cat# on the cover and labels, no barcode, but has the Oriental-style "CLASH" and "All the Young Punks" and my matrix #s are different than these variations.

        My copy most resembles this release with the following runout differences:
        Side A: (Stamped)P AL (scratchout 35439)-1K (etched) I T 35543 with a stamped V or Lambda opposite
        Side B: (Stamped) O P BL (scratchout 35433)-1J (etched) I T 35543 with a stamped V or Lambda opposite

        No promotion stamps.

          Bought this new in 1979 and just listened to it for the first time in at least 30 years and it sounds fantastic. It’s amazing how well vinyl endures. Still kicks ass.

            My copy is closest to the JE 35543. The cover art and the label art are the same as well as the catalog#, however the Matrix Numbers are slightly different and it's has "FOR PROMOTION ONLY Ownership Reserved By CBS Sale is Unlawful" stamped on on back upper left. Does this deserve a new US promo listing?

            Matrix Number (Side A): P AL 35439-1F
            Matrix Number (Side B): P BL 35543-1AE

              "All the Young Punks" is also titled "That's No Way To Spend Your Youth" on the original pressing, and the cover is in block letters, not the fake chinese.
