This is likely the rarest sleeve variation of "Raped Ass." (Next would be the Really Fast Rec. pressing without the drawing of the violin on the inside of the sleeve.) Instead of the price "10 Kr.," which appears on the two normal sleeves of "Raped Ass," this one says "Swedish Punk." The two-piece sleeve is printed on the thin paper commonly considered the second pressing. The paper stock is similar to that of the domestic version of the Skitslickers EP. Notably, this pressing includes an insert, which is not included with any other pressing. (A later pressing of "VOAB," on Hardcore Horror Rec., includes an insert, unlike the earlier pressings.)
This copy sold on eBay in 2005 for $250; this photo comes from that auction. The seller told me it came from an old German punker, who bought it at an Anti-Cimex gig in 1984. I'm not positive Anti-Cimex played in Germany, but it would have made sense to change the cover so that it didn't include a price denominated in Swedish currency for copies sold outside Sweden.
I really doubt that this
I really doubt that this record was bought at a show in Germany in 1984. This is a 4th or 5th pressing of this record with one of Mats Bodenmalms numerous sleeve variations. It should have been pressed around 1986-1987...... I guess. It is definately not one of the first three pressing anyway.
