Remarks

• Limited edition of originally 250-300 copies

The quality of the pressing was rather poor and had the recording on the vinyls run too slow.

A large number of records were destroyed only 50-120 copies are said to be left.

• Black vinyls with plain white labels

• Run-out etching on Side A only: DG001

• The record come in a thin paper cover with a b/w picture of Andrew Eldritch on the front;

the latter was taken from an ELEKTRA Promo Card of 1988, although, the demo tracks used

for this release were recorded much earlier, years before Patricia Morrison joined the band.

• Unfortunately, part of these covers did also lack quality production. Some of them were cut

in the wrong place and glued on the cover front instead of the side.
