Additional notes
Recorded, mixed, re-recorded, and re-mixed at Rich "Funeral" Bitch Studios from December 1987 - March 1988 on 16 track facilities.
According to an interview with Bill Steer, the initial recording was completely ruined by Mike Ivory, so the band had to hastily re-record and re-engineer the album in order to meet the label's deadline.
The original "gore" cover was later banned and replaced by a "clean" cover, which was drawings of a human similar to those found in biology books. The exact same cover was used for Symphonies of Sickness except with a different color scheme. In the year 2002/2003, the gore covers were put back.
Reek of Putrefaction was re-released on CD for the first time in 1989 by Earache Records (cat.-no. MOSH 18CD for the uncensored version, GMOSH 18CD for the censored cover). The CD (76:25) contained both, the Symphonies of Sickness and the Reek of Putrefaction album, but omitted the Reek of Putrefaction tracks # 5, 6, 8, 13, 19, and 21.
