Unfortunately I don't have both versions on vinyl. I only have the U.S. version on LP and the UK version on a CD.

I don't have much to add other than my anecdote that several songs on the original album were actually mixed with the tape machine running fast to juice the tempos a little (Kiss Me Deadly is the most obvious). Maybe that's what the person meant by playing faster? But it's not the pressing, it's the actual recording.

Oh nice. I loved that place and meeting up with you and can't wait to get back there. I follow RJ on Instagram and he posts amazing stuff pretty much daily.

Yeah, he had some stellar old UK punk stuff yesterday (and an unpriced box on the counter) and some solid metal today. That's a good spot! We've got a new place, Royal Records, happening as well.

I have both but never noticed it being sped up or anything, just the omission of tracks and a different song order and "Wild Dub".
