The vinyl for this release has several variations (hold up to a light source to see): Purple translucent or red translucent or green translucent or brown translucent.
The colors are the result of formulations used for the original pressings, with the purple believed to be the very first pressing. The red-tinted version was apparantly more widely distributed.

Runouts on side A and side B have a monster head etched after matrix references.

Was reissued in a smooth cardboard cover with a paper printed inner sleeve having straight corners.
