Text on back cover:
"in 1843 a mild mannered man was so obsessed with windmills that he would gaze at them for days on end. his friends tried to distract him from the fixation by moving him to an area with no mills,
there the windmill man lured a boy into the woods, then killed and mutilated him. his motive, he explained, was the hope that as punishment he would be taken to a place where there just might be a mill."

Comes in picture sleeve. 1,000 copies on black (this), and 250 on clear vinyl (Bass Communion - Litany).
