FE 5: Drinking Is Great 7" compilation

Classic Portland compilation and the 5th release on Fatal Erection from 1985. One song each from PI, Lockjaw, E-13 and Final Warning. "Laughing Boy" is one of my all time favorite PI tracks, and can be found tacked onto the various reissues of Record Collectors Are Pretentious Assholes. The other three bands all have great records of their own — two 7"s from Lockjaw (skinhead hc a-la Agnostic Front, collected on CD along with an unreleased LP), two 7"s from E-13 (snotty hc) and one 7" from Final Warning (wayyy underrated Discharge style hc) — search them out, you won't be disappointed.

TEST PRESS - ??? copies

Two variations of the test press exist — some with silver labels and some with yellow labels — but the FE overlords say they were pressed at the same time and there are equal amounts of both. My yellow label copy came with the first press tan sleeve, but other copies I have seen were sleeveless.

FIRST PRESS - 1000 black vinyl

Tan foldover sleeve printed on card stock, with legal size (8,5"x14") glossy insert. No known variations. Classic cover art by Buns, who did a lot of PI's early artwork.

-----

SECOND PRESS - 500 yellow vinyl

Thin white paper folded sleeve has "goes GolD 1 of 500" added under the title, in what appears to be Pig's handwriting. Insert is identical to the first press.
