Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death

This version still contains a flexi-disc, but the back cover now has a barcode printed in top right corner (unlike the first press). 1987 is printed on center label and back cover, but this is a 1990 repress. In addition to the flexi and newsprint booklet insert, some copies may also contain a "No More Censorship Fact Sheet Spring 1990" insert, and/or an Alternative Tentacles merchandise insert. Labels are black with silver printing. Tracks numbered sequentially (including the flexi-disc tracks) on the back cover. ℗ + © 1987 Alternative Tentacles A1: B-side of second single, [m=31769] .Also inserted in the original American version of the [r=1519148] LP. ©1980 Decay Music (BMI) A2: A-side of fourth single, [m=31800].
