Keep 'Em Coming

There's just something about browsing the racks in a record store and buying records right there compared to ordering records online. I'd meant to check out The Ruts for a long time, but never got around to it and by pure coincidence I'd put their first LP, The Crack, on the want list section in my Excel spreadsheet documenting my collection just a couple of days before I actually found a copy. Record and sleeve are in very good condition considering their age. Sadly, the lyric sheet is missing, but the price was too good to pass up on it. 

I really like this record. Gives me a lot of The Clash vibes because there are so many different music styles combined on this record. The cover art is also pretty cool. 

Despite my best efforts and even checking the matrix numbers, I didn't manage to find out which pressing this is exactly, because the Discogs entry is a little confusing. But it must be some early pressing, see below.

Early Press from 1979 (?)

I know that people frown upon scribblings on the cover, labels or lyric sheet, but sometimes, that makes a record also more interesting. Someone wrote "Nov '79" on the front cover, which could be a reference to the release date or date of purchase.
