Just 2 tracks

Great choice! I was going to spin this one, too. One track spanning 3 sides!

Fortunately I have a few other options.

Mannequin Pussy ‎– Patience

I gotta say...that cover piqued my interest. Purchased the Flesh colored off Discogs as I also liked what I sampled on Youtube.
Ha Ha, yeah I thought about putting a NSFW spoiler tag, but it's art!

Cool that you like them! And that pinwheel/4-way looks awesome.

Cheers!

I got this in today...didn't get the flesh variant that I ordered...but not worth the hassle of returning.

#317/1200 - clear w/ blue pinwheel
 
Day 20: You gotta see them live.

Saw them the day before my birthday in 2000 - they (and Muse) opened for Red Hot Chili Peppers. My university (SIU Carbondale) got pretty decent shows from time to time back then - and they were usually cheap. This show was 30 bucks.

Foo Fighters ‎– Greatest Hits
Roswell Records/RCA ‎– 88697-36921-1, 2009

Cool. The way Feedbands worked (kinda) is the "first run" was the pinwheel, even though there were more pressed. The flesh was the "not as special" press, I guess. I sort of figured you wanted the flesh one to clean up the discogs a bit 😉 .
Also, thanks for updating the info, I did not know what the "Λ_" in the runouts meant!

This is #7 on my AotY list. So much frenetic energy and cute Japanese schoolgirl fury in under 30 minutes!

No problem. I have a lot of SST cuts, but don't think I've seen his before. I had to do a little research. Even though there isn't an image of the etch in his profile, I'm 99% sure that it is correct.

I was worried that @AnthonyI was gonna take my pick when he posted this over in the spinning thread earlier today.

This one clocks in at 27:05.

I'm sure I have some that are shorter, but I haven't played this in a while - and Heroes And Villains was on the recent episode of Mr. Robot.

The Beach Boys ‎– Smiley Smile
Capitol Records ‎– ECS-40167, 1967/1982

They sent me two copies of this by mistake. It is really great. Reminds me of some vintage Blood Brothers albums.
