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
- The back cover gives the lyrics to Lucretia, My Reflection in English and Japanese language
- 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 label on side B states track A (Lucretia) as Empire Down and track B (Flood I) as Water
- Some testpressings and acetats do exist, see down below ...
Regular Vinyl Colours
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.

Testpressings And Acetats
- Three testpressings exist, one of which does not have a cover.
- The cover of the other two differs remarkably from the final Floodland Demos 7" cover.
- Due to the artwork, these items are also referred to as Empire Down and Flood 4.
- The track are the same, though in reverse order and with partly different titles:
- Side A - Flood I is noted as Empire Down
- Side B - Lucretia, My Reflection is noted as Lucretia 2 - Black vinyl with white labels marked with some lines consisting of the letter "P"
