Your European market received it for RSD. I'm still not sure that it has made it into full distribution in the USA yet as there are not many USA sellers with it on Discogs.
I'm assuming the reissue will be on black vinyl or some other color with a larger production quantity if/when it happens.
I have yet to see any flac or even mp3 files available for it yet either.

Pink Lincolns 7"
maybe the Weird Al Ramones cover single
That's about all I'm interested in from that list... not sure if I'm interested enough to sit out in the cold at 6 AM waiting for doors to open at my usual spot though...

I wouldn't do that, either, especially considering a lot of stuff is available all weekend and then on Monday at Bull Moose and other spots on Discogs.

Low Fidelity: Adele, Record Store Day and Why You’ll Take CDs and Like It!
Plenty has been said over the last decade about how the independent music scene’s long-standing love of vinyl had kept the format alive when the mainstream all but abandoned it, only to have that get thrown back in their faces once the major labels caught wind of it thanks to the proliferation of social media and wieners in Red Hook with ironic mustaches and organic window herb gardens — and probably a fucking unicycle — splattering themselves with the records they more than likely only took out as show pieces during wine tastings. The majors then slowly returned, like an abusive boyfriend trying to weasel his way back into to your life once you’ve finally gotten to a good place, so that he can fuck it all up again.
And the breaking point was the bricks used to pave the road to hell: Record Store Day.

That Shudder to Think is awful, but the Struggle disk is real good.

Never heard it. Is it closer to the earlier stuff that I like such as "So Long Sucker," "Fill in the Blanks," etc., or like the later stuff (which I don't care for at all). I have this theory that pop-punk was incredible pre-Dookie and Smash and awful afterwards until the Razorcake/Marked Men type stuf in the 2000s.
I know that opinion is very "old man yells at clouds" these days, but I stand by it and own it.

It's from 1994, so after Jon Von left, one of the earlier records of "the later stuff". My favorite albums of theirs are the earlier ones, mostly on the strength of Jon's lead-guitar playing. I always preferred them overall as a 4-piece, but I still think Dr. Frank's overall songwriting and lyricism were top notch all the way through their career. I do tend to agree with your overall pop-punk thesis though... I loved all that Lookout!-type stuff in the early 90s, but that whole genre of music became quickly over-saturated with approximately a zillion shitty Screeching Weasel/Queers clones.

100%, not to mention the Green Day/Blink clones that came later. And yes, I prefer the Jon Von era, too.

I'd actually lump Blink in with the Screeching Weasel-clone description... for as much as those guys used to claim to be influenced by The Descendents, I never really heard any of that influence in their music... always heard much more SW in their sound than anything else.

Thanks and that's a good question. I didn't realize the title and cover are a bit obscured by the hype sticker, but it's the "X-French Tee Shirt" CD single. I had the 7" and would like to have it again, but for now, the CD will do nicely. I played it a few times yesterday.

What's wrong with Struggle? i only had the split 7" with Undertow back in the day (think I mentioned that above or in another thread recently) and I don't know the rest of that material despite it being in every distro bin back in the day, but for $1.99, why not, right? Their message is still certainly timely today.
