Remarks / Varieties

  • This bootleg was released in various issues which all show the same cover art.
  • Unlike the other two ECHOES 12" vinyls (VOL.2`& VOL.3), the original edition here
    does not have a folded paper cover, but a proper thick one.
    The vinyls have plain orange labels.
  • All songs featured here are allegedly demos or studio version.
    In fact, they are simply mixed or equalised at different settings.


Known reissues are four:

  • A limited-edition reissue of 100 copies with a free booklet in German language and a sticker
    on the cover front noting: 'Limited edition of 100 copies free with special booklet' .
The vinyls have plain orange labels.
  • A likewise limited-edition reissue of 100 copies with a numbered sticker on the cover front indicating
    the number of the individual copy and: 'Limited edition of 100 copies free with special booklet' .
    The vinyls of these have plain orange labels as well.
  • Both of the above reissues are also available with Merciful Release logo labels.
