Rancid – Life Won't Wait

Does anybody know how to identify the first press and the RSD 2014? Both are orange transluscent, same matrix etchings, same barcode...
I bought a sealed copy years ago. No stickers on shrink. No "Made in..."

I used to listen to this record on cd as of 1998, when finally I bought this press on lp I listened to this album for the very first time. Totally different dynamic, soundstage and bottom end, this press is excellent.

Incomplete, but it does sound amazing! No crackles, pops, surface noise or skips. The gatefold reissue is where it’s at tho. These incomplete reissues are basically wall art.

Original and punky. This album is misrated. A lot of great songs. Top 3 for me with and out… and Rancid 2000

Great sounding record, a true masterpiece from rancid … pressing quality is very good record, cut fairly loud but depth of sound is there.

I really like this Rancid album, but what I hate is a reissue that has blatantly been mastered from a compact disc — so much so that it contains the sound of a CD player skipping (???!?!?!??). This occurred during the final ten seconds of “Coppers,” the album’s closing track, and I couldn’t believe my ears. I have listened to Life Won’t Wait dozens of times, so I could immediately tell something was off, but I had to play it twice because I’ve never heard anything like that before.

Really, Epitaph Records, WTF? Who was the mastering engineer for this reissue, an unpaid intern who said, “Fuck it” and then ripped a gravity bong hit before nodding out before the end of side four? In a world where test pressings are a thing, how does a plastic piece of crap like this get dumped into the marketplace? As you can see, I have so many questions …

Everything sounded great- clean pressing. Then, at the very last seconds of the last song "Coppers", it skips like a CD. But for real, it's not the record, it sounds like a CD skipping. This is in the steel drum part ending the song, so like the last 5-10 seconds.
I realized this record was pressed from the CD audio, not the masters. Has anyone else noticed this?

Anyone know if this was actually made in U.S.A ? I have a sealed copy. Identical catalog & barcode, 1998 copyright, epitaph address, BUT made in Czech Republic sticker on shrink.

Fantastic press, good quiet error-free vinyl. Mix sounds good but not really any different from my old CD that I could tell. Worth the pick just to have this album on wax.

Crap, incomplete bootleg album. Buy another version but not this one...
