Notes

VERSION #12

RELEASE: Unknown quantity released in 1998.

SLEEVE: Navy blue ink printed on white matte (not glossy) paper sleeve. Raymond Pettibon's artwork on the front and back of the sleeve is exactly the same as the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th pressings. A small "Printed in Canada" logo has been added to the right of the barcode. The top edges of the sleeve are cut straight across the front and the back, with the back top edge being about 3/16 to 1/4 of an inch lower than the front top edge. This version has a barcode "0 18861-0001-7 6" on the back cover.

LABEL: Blue labels, the same as the labels on the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th pressings with the same following characteristics: sides are labeled as "Side One" and "Side Two". Has the Black Flag font and the Black Flag 4 bar logo. Typo showing the song length of "Nervous Breakdown" on side one as being 2:55 instead of 2:05.

VINYL: 7”, black vinyl, small hole. Deadwax runout has “SST 001-A R-12806 L-19417” on side one and “SST 001-B L-19417-X R-12807” on side two. Interestingly, there is a slight difference in the deadwax runout between this pressing and the previous five versions. In the previous five versions, the "R-12806" in the deadwax runout looks like the "0" was actually a very small "6" and then was scratched out in a circular motion giving the appearance of a "0". In this 12th version, the small "6" is intact and has not been scratched out.

PRIMARY DIFFERENCE(S) TO PREVIOUS VERSION: This 12th pressing/version changed the design of the top opening of the sleeve from arched to straight. It has changed to a small hole again. The paper sleeve is now matte and not glossy, and "Printed in Canada" is located to the right of barcode. Side one has a slightly different deadwax runout.

Recorded at Media Art Studio, Hermosa Beach, CA - Jan. 1978.

    Can someone help me out? I have been trying to collect all the versions for a number of years. I just got my hands on what I thought was a 12th version. According to the description on here it meets every criteria except one. It has the same blue label as the label on the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th pressings, and is a small hole press, and the sleeve is the exact description (not a glossy like previous versions) and has the exact opening cut as described.

    According to this blog the only "difference in the deadwax runout between this pressing and the previous five versions... in the previous five versions, the "R-12806" in the deadwax runout looks like the "0" was actually a very small "6" and then was scratched out in a circular motion giving the appearance of a "0". In this 12th Version, the small "6" is intact and has not been scratched out." But my copy has the small "6" scratched out. I have the 10th and 14th versions and I compared and the sleeves are different and the deadwax has that described scratch as well on the 10th, while the 14th has a different runout. Is it possible that the 12th version may have also had some scratched out "6" pressed?? All other criteria have been met, but it doesn't fit the description of any other versions. Thanks.

      I am completing a collection of all the different versions of this Black Flag - Nervous Breakdown EP. I have 15 of the 16 versions and the only one I don't have is this Version #12. Although it is one of the later versions and there were quite a few sold, many people have probably listed it as one of the other versions on Discogs without realizing it or just bought it not too long ago and just stuffed it into their collection. If you have this copy and are interested in selling it or trading it so that I can complete the Nervous Breakdown collection, I would make you a reasonable offer or trade it for an earlier version.
