- Released in two editions

- Vinyls have plain white labels with "Cat# 523" etched into the lead-out groove.
- The cover of the first edition has a copper/gold-like coloured print,
while the second edition comes with a pasted b/w copy instead.
- The cover front shows a low resolution copy of of the art work "Dreams in the Witch House" by Harry O. Morris Jr.,
- a contemporary American artist. It is part of a collage titled "Halloween in Arkham" created in 1979. This evidence reveals the origen of the name of the album.
