A 7" vinyl bootleg of allegedly Japanese origin ...

Floodland Demos - Cover (front)
Floodland Demos - Cover (back)



Release Notes

  • Label: Wasted Buchs 08/15
  • Catalogue#: P-13612
  • Format: 7" vinyl single
  • Released: 1987 (Germany)
  • Matrix#s:
Side A: WASTED BUCHS 08/15 /A et
Side B: WASTED BUCHS 08/15 /B et




Tracks


Lucretia, My Reflection          2:10
Flood I 3:25



Sources

Flood I is actually the Flood II demo track, though.


Remarks

  • Great sound quality
  • A limited edtion of 200 copies in total
  • The single comes in a hand-numbered cover with a folded white cardboard inner sleeve
  • In fact, this is a German release. The title on the cover front and the Lucretia lyrics
    on the back cover in Japanese characters are rather meant to impress potential customers of various sorts...
  • The same accounts for all the Merciful Release and WEA logos. Although the artwork of present release
    reminds strongly of the Dominion single, this is a rare, but not an official release!
  • Available on medium blue and light blue vinyl, while colours of both versions vary slightly as well.
  • The label on side A shows a picture detail from an unknown painting in levels of grey

The actual colour of the medium blue vinyl is hard to get in a photo.
Insofar you find here - as an indicator - a comparison with the Remasters Sampler.
