⚠️ UNIQUE MISPRESS CHARACTERISTICS

This is not a typical Elektra reissue — it is a rare and severely mispressed Canadian version, incorrectly listing and sequencing multiple songs. What makes this mispress particularly valuable is that both the sleeve and labels are incorrect, and the audio content does not match the printed material.

This level of manufacturing error goes far beyond a standard misprint. These copies were usually recalled or destroyed, making surviving examples extremely rare.

COLLECTIBILITY & PRESSING NOTES

• Scarce mispress edition, verified through matrix and Quality Records stamp

• Hype sticker still affixed, which boosts collector appeal

• High desirability among Mötley Crüe collectors due to pressing defect, transitional nature, and rarity

• Incorrect label and jacket track listings

• A missing 10th track

• “Stick to Your Guns” falsely listed
