Release Notes

• Label: Arkain Filloux

• Catalogue#:

• Format: 12" vinyl LP

• Released: 2014 / 2016 (Belgium)

• Run-outs: Side A/Side B

Remarks

• Although, allegedly manufactured in Belgium all issues were initially delivered from the US.

• The front cover art shows a innovative composition of a squared image of centric hand drawn lines,

that remind of the cover art work of the Temple Of Love single and

the old head and star logo which overlaps the lines as a negative layer, occulting them.

The vanishing point of the lines is the eye of the logo.

• The back cover art work shows the song titels imbeded in parallel, also hand drawn lines.

• Back cover notes:

As a headline: BBC SESSIONS

and on the bottom:
