Notes

CLAY RECORDS used the original masters for the first pressing of the album against the will of the band who had rejected the recordings after speaking to CLAY RECORDS. The so dropped recordings should have been replaced by the then remixed tracks. But CLAY RECORDS released the first pressing in spite of the agreement with the band. This first pressing sounds a bit different in comparison to the second pressing. The guitar has less echo-effects and the song WEEPING BLOOD has no bell-intro. All in all it sounds drier and duller than the second pressing which can be heard very clear. The PLAY DEAD-band-symbol on the labels of the two sides of the record have a darker blue colour than the symbols of the second pressing. 1000 copies were released from the first pressing. The second pressing had a "remixed"-sticker on the sleeve. Some fans accused the band of ripping people off by trying to make them buy another copy. Of course the band tried to quit CLAY RECORDS as far as possible after that faux pas.
Comes with fully printed black inner sleeve.
Recorded at Blackwing, March 1984.
