    Recently purchased used. Ident to runout variant 7 except JEFF COBB is etched on both sides between the catalog number and the Pinkneyville logo. Given no references, I wonder if a previous owner etched it in?

      John Entwistle is not lead vocals on Had Enough. Got a factory sealed copy OP for Christmas. Brings back great memories.

        For me, this album is on the weaker side of their catalog. I actually prefer the Moon-less 1981 Face Dances and Pete's early 80s solo albums to this album. The gem of the album IMO is 905. I had no idea that was an Entwistle tune.
