Notes

Comes with "free issue" of Murder Ballads Bulletin: A large folded colour printed lyric inlet.

Recorded in 1993-95 at Atlantis, Sing Sing and Metropolis Studios, Melbourne, Wessex Studios, London and mixed at Metropolis. "Where The Wild Roses Grow" was mixed at Sarm West, London.

The back cover lists the tracks incorrectly in the playing order of the UK vinyl. Actually, this German vinyl plays in the same track order as on the CD versions and the labels list this correctly even though "The Kindness Of Strangers" is misspelled as "The Company Of Strangers".
