This is not a pressing released in 1984. The earliest Combat pressings have a green label.

Combat didn't start using the grey camo labels until late 1986 at the earliest , but it's mostly seen on releases from 1987 - 1988.

Hi all. Is this with matte or semi glossy sleeve?

This pressing of this album really is everything it’s cracked up to be. I wondered for a long time and finally took the plunge. You really don’t know how good it is until you hear it. It’s perfect. Long live the King.

WOW. Dynamic! Bass starts a little high, but falls in line. Awesome.

Sounds fantastic. Playing it loud, it's very dynamic, balanced and very clear. Glad to finally get this on vinyl.

Same. A bunch of channel dropouts on the last track on my copy of this '84 ATTIC pressing. Bummer.

Sound better than the first Combat pressing. If you can, get it!

If anyone has an extra inner sleeve that is readable and you want to sell it please let me know!
