Album Title:


Dead Kennedys – Frankenchrist


Label & Catalog Number:

• Matrix/Runout (etched): Visible in your photo: “A Porky Prime Cut” – a classic etching from mastering engineer George “Porky” Peckham. This indicates it’s an original or early pressing.


Pressing Information:

• Country: UK

• Distribution: The Cartel / EFA 05331-08 (as seen on back cover)

• Year of Release: 1985

• Original pressing includes:

• LP with Alternative Tentacles labels (gold bat design on one side, tracklist on the other)

• H.R. Giger poster insert titled “Penis Landscape” (included in the photos)

• This poster was central to the obscenity lawsuit filed against Jello Biafra and Alternative Tentacles.
