Sources

  • The content of this album is identical with the second record of the more recent 2LP bootleg Serpents Kiss
from the same manufacture.
The latter is also the producer of many other Australian vinyl bootlegs of the new millennium such as
Panic In Their Eyes, The Angels Of Sin, Ice To The Eskimo, Land Of The Kings, A Fire In The Hull,
and of late in 2018 alone Demos And Outtakes 1981-1984 (Australian bootleg LP),
The Damage Done Original Demo Tape 1981 (Australian bootleg LP), WEA In-House Mixes (Australian bootleg LP)
as well as Reptiles In The Basement.
  • A very much older 7" bootleg with a similar name but different origin does exist as well.



Editions


The LP was released in four editions.

The Garden Of Delight -
The three different items of the first edition


First Edition

  • Issued in 2014
  • Released in three different vinyl colours: orange with black ink spots, green translucent (seen with black ink spots too) and grey marbled.
  • This edition was limited to 75 copies, 25 each colour.
  • The vinyls are housed in a black generic cover with two stickers centrically glued to it on each side.
The back cover sticker shows additionally to the common notes of all the releases a white field for the numbering:
LIMITED EDITION _____ /75 COPIES


The Garden Of Delight -
The four different items of the second edition with CD

Second Edition

  • Released in 2015
  • Issued in four different vinyl colours: green translucent with yellow and black smoke,
orange with black ink, grey marbled and plain white.
  • This time the album was limited to 100 copies, 25 each colour.
  • It comes in a more sophisticated black and white picture sleeve,
using the same art works, but filling up the whole 12" surface.
The additional notes on the back cover state:
LIMITED EDITION _____ /100 COPIES
  • There was a CD with the same content added to the first copies that were sold.


The Garden Of Delight -
Cover/inlay of the third edition

Third Edition

  • Released in 2016
  • Exists in four different vinyl colours: green translucent, orange with black ink spots and gray marbled and plain white.
  • The cover is a white generic one and comes with a 12" inlay that merges the front and back cover artworks of the second edition.
Allthough the design is very similar it differs in the size of the semi-transparent head and star logo.
Also the back ground colour is changed to white.
  • There isn't any numbering included.
  • In case of quite many copies the inlay got glued to the cover front and
became therefore the cover art work.


The Garden Of Delight -
Overview of an item of the fourth edition

Fourth Edition

  • Published in 2017
  • It was made in six different vinyl colours: green translucent,
orange with black ink spots, gray marbled, clean white and two new colors:
purple marbled and gold brown (caramel) with black ink spots.
  • The cover is nearly identical the one of the second edition,
but it was printed with a blue filter.
  • This edition is not numbered either and contains the insert of the third edition.


There doesen't exist an appropriate fifth edition,
but the leftover vinyls after the fourth edition were used as record two in the bootleg Serpents Kiss.
