This is an ultra rare private first pressing.  Only 500 copies were pressed. This just blows away the Faith/Void split, Black Flag "Damaged", etc., etc. It's more like the F.U.'s with its breakneck speed. This hasn't been offered since 2005. Here is a rave review from Maximumrocknroll #269, October 2005: "Genetic Control's one and only 7" from 1984 is one of Canada's all-time hardcore gems." "It's impossible to get but unlike a few of the hardcore holy grails it actually lives up to the hype." "The tracks have more in common with US hardcore of the time (think Midwest classics ARTICLES OF FAITH or the ZERO BOYS) than many of the other Canuck bands." "Every track is a stormer."    This is an original Canadian first pressing on Generic Records. Great cover art of a bunch of marines all looking like Travis Bickle in "Taxi Driver". Cover is near mint. The vinyl is excellent with a few faint surface marks that do not affect play. A great rare piece of Canadian punk history.
