Recorded in December 1977 for the theatrical premiere of the play "Directions to Servants" (directed by Shuji Terayama & J.A. Seazer, written by Shuji Terayama, based on an uncompleted manuscript by Jonathan Swift). The workshop premiere of the play took place in January 1978 at the Harumi Kokusai Bôeki Centre in Tokyo. The play then toured for three months to France, Holland, Belgium and the UK. Cassette tapes of the music were available for sale at the theatres.

The sound source of this CD has been taken from a 1978 re-edit.
(There is speculation that this is a master tape for cassette tapes sold at the venue during the performance of the theater company.)
Mastered on April 5, 2012.

Disk Union version with bonus CDr including semi-instrumental versions of some of the songs.
Album title also stated in English on the cover: Directions To Servants.
