Album Info

Release Date: 1992

Label: Insipid Vinyl

Previously unreleased Erika Records black vinyl test pressing.

The released version was pressed at Festival Records in Sydney, Australia who were in the final stages of pressing vinyl. They were planning to pull up stumps and cease operations before completing the entire run since they did not wish to import more vinyl, so plates were duplicated and sent to Erika Records in Los Angeles to press the remainder of the pressing, the day after test pressings arrived from Los Angeles, Festival decided they would import one more shipment of vinyl to complete some of their in-house jobs along with the remainder of the Jesus Lizard single and two more Insipid Vinyl releases that already had been mastered & plated at Festival and were heading for Erika in Los Angeles to be completed due to the premature closing of Festival's manufacturing.

There were ten test pressings made, that is it. Never manufactured since remainder of the pressing was completed at Festival Records. This copy comes straight from the label owners archive.

Demo versions of both songs. Australian only release.
