      My US Terre Haute pressing looks like the one below, except the etched runout ends in T4 on Side B, like this: T1 IR SP 0009-B RE-1 T4. Not exactly like this on Side B:
      Matrix / Runout (Runout Side A, etched Variant 2): T1 IR SP 0009-A RE-1 T1.
      Matrix / Runout (Runout Side B, etched Variant 2): T1 IR SP 0009-B RE-1 T1.

          If the volume is not turned up to maximum without damaging your eardrums or distorting the sound because of your equipment limitations, you are just not listening to this music the way it was meant to be. One time I had a really annoying horse fly stuck in my apartment for a whole day. None of the usual remedies worked, as the thing was super fast & super intelligent. Finally as a last resort I put side B on the stereo, turned the volume up full blast and played Cut B1. Within 30 seconds the insect flew out the window I had been leaving open for it to depart via the entire time. I would recommend this album for any insect repellent chores.
