It's a somewhat sketchy looking repress - no mention was made of how limited it was from distributors, but they're charging considerable more for it than normal 12's, so I doubt they'll sell too many. While Chime originally came out on Oh'Zone, that label's been defunct for awhile, and their labels didn't look like those on this new press. AFAIK Belfast was only on vinyl on FFRR, on the 1st album and Satan single originally. (except for that Volume vocal version). Even stranger about this repress is that while Oh'zone was a UK label, there's a New York address on this record. I'd normally think bootleg, but the sound quality's quite good, so maybe it's from the original tapes.
