Thank you!! This is great.
In this line up not only James Chance was an interesting member. The bassist on this record was Reck, who after leaving TJ&J went back to Japan and formed the mighty Friction, whose single "Crazy dream" is posted in this very blog!
I have this one & the rest of Teenage Jesus in some form but gonna download it & the other singles just to hear the cracks & pops of the vinyl :D Thanks!

As I said up here I downloaded this one a while ago but didn't listen to it up till now and I've just realised that the version of "The Closet" is not the one with James Chance. The original has saxes all through the song. The version here appears to be the one from the No New York album.
Luckily this is not the case with the other 2 singles of TJ&J posted here. I was glad to hear the original "Orphans" single version of "Less of Me" because that one doesn't appear in the so-called "Everything" comp nor the Hysteria comp.
Saludos,
Fernando :)
