Remarks
- Very good sound quality
- Released in two limited editions, all of which have Merciful Release labels.
- All come in a glossy cover and with black card inner sleeves.
- It is not known, how many copies of each were exactly issued, around 300 seems likely.
- Nonetheless, the original version is far more rare than the second issue.
- Alledgedly, the original edition has record 1 in black vinyl and record 2 in multicoloured vinyl.
In the pictures down below it is clear, though, that the black vinyl is marked "C" and "D".
- The second edition consists of two multicoloured vinyls in different colours.
At least two different versions are known to exist:
- 1 x mulitcoloured clear/white/red/blue vinyl + 1 x multicoloured yellow/red/green vinyl
- 1 x multicoloured blue/green vinyl + 1 x multicoloured yellow/red/green vinyl
- Versions with two black vinyls are said to exist as well.
Evidence for these could not be found as yet.
