Additional notes
Recorded September 1990 through February 1991, at B. Monster Studios, N.Y.C.
Re-mixed at Powerplay Studios, Long Island City.
Mastered at Masterdisk, N.Y.C.
Although originally released in several formats and in both the US and UK in the early 1990's, these recordings remained hard to find in their original form for a long time, due to the lack of timely reissues - they appeared only as part of the basis for the Various Failures 1988-1992 compilation at the end of the decade.
The entire album was however re-issued in 2015 both as part of the White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity / Love Of Life compilation and as a stand alone vinyl release. These versions contain the extra track "Blind" recorded during the same sessions, but omitted from the original release.
