Additional notes
Recorded and mixed at "Slaughterhouse" Studios from July - August 1989.
A limited edition (featuring the "gore" cover artwork) was once released containing 16 bonus tracks taken from the Reek of Putrefaction album. The total running time of this version is 76:58.
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 Reek of Putrefaction, except with a different color scheme. In 2002/2003, the gore covers were put back.
