Remarks
- Exists in two editons on black vinyl
- The original edition labels are blue with an eye in the centre and give track and other information.
- Observation Records / SACEM is noted as record label the on the vinyl labels,
while the cover back sleeve states © & ℗ KTFB Records/Observation Records
- Some of these labels are very greenish blue, while others are not.
- A reissue with plain yellow labels on record one and plain white labels on the record two do exist as well.
- Record One of this edition was obviously produced in higher numbers than Record Two
and made use of for another bootleg product titled House Of Reptiles.
