Release Notes

  • Label: Arche Noire Records
  • Catalogue#: ANR 024
  • Format: 12" vinyl LP
  • Released: 1985


Remarks

  • Released in two editions
  • The first edition is limited to 500 copies and handnumbered.
  • The second edition is limited to 300 copies.
  • 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 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, which seems to be the origen of the name of the present album.
The present artwork itself has got its title from a short story of the same name by H. P. Lovecraft, published first in 1933.
