Remarks

  • Released on CNT label, York, since the band didn't have the money to release it themselves on Merciful Release.
  • The cover features Francis Bacon's Head VI, a view of which can be found here at the WebMuseum
  • Some copies have a slighter red on the cover than others.
  • The covers are either thin paper or thick and glossy.
